The [FREE Initiative](http://thefreeinitiative.com/?ref=opendemocracy.net) (Far-Right Extremism in Europe Initiative) has produced a series of short [films](http://thefreeinitiative.com/films/?ref=opendemocracy.net) to showcase the tactics and methods taken by those tackling far-right extremism across Europe. Hear the stories of those who are on the streets having the hard conversations with far-right activists, those who have rid entire towns of neo-Nazi gangs, and those who have pushed hundreds of violent extremists to leave the scene. Listen to the stories of survivors of far-right violence, who share their stories to prevent attacks like this from happening again.

*Films directed by: Rino Pucci and Marcos Villasenor* 
*Music: Simon Porter.*
