Revolutionaries from the start, Quakers defied the Church of England and embraced racial and gender equality. Using verite and archival footage, interviews, voiceover historical quotations, and graphic animations, Quakers: The Quiet Revolutionaries reveals nearly four centuries of Quaker activism. A deft and thoughtful history, the film showcases Quakerism’s founding and documents the long-term impact of this quiet and often revolutionary faith.
