61. How to Unseat a Dictator
Guildhall

What does it take to challenge entrenched power and what happens when you do? Join two of the world’s most compelling opposition leaders, Leopoldo López and Bobi Wine, in conversation with writer and strategist Greg Mills, for a rare and powerful session on the realities of resisting authoritarian regimes. From Venezuela’s struggle against entrenched rule to Uganda’s contested election and ongoing repression, this discussion combines sweeping global relevance with remarkable personal stories of resilience, courage and conviction. Both López and Wine bring extraordinary first-hand insight, having endured imprisonment, political persecution and personal danger in their fight for democratic freedoms. This is global politics with human faces and exceptional bravery at its heart.
