The decade from 2010 to 2020 was one that saw more people around the world participating in mass protests than at any other point in human history.

In this special episode, recorded at The Real News Network studio in Baltimore, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez talks to Bevins about his new book and about his own working life as a journalist covering people's uprisings around the world.
