Georgia's rave revolution - BBC News 

I am georgian and 20%of my counrty is occupied by russia!!!

Rave on Georgia. Much respect from USA.

Lol the far right leader looks like Elon Musk lost it all and decided to start a vape shop.

Rave on Georgia. Your German brothers and sisters are with you

Georgia has nice Landscapes

"We are free and we need to be free" Voice of the true spirit of a free human. More power to you, brothers and sisters.

Rave on....!!!! All the best to the people.

They took "Dance-Dance Revolution" seriously

Georgia stay strong on your values! Good luck from northern Caucasus.

You mean RAVElution!

6:38 I didn't know Elon Musk had a twin brother in Georgia..

Georgia is in the middle of changing I think. Rave on Georgia! From Japan

Marijuana has just been decriminalized by the Constitutional court here in Georgia.

RAVE ON GEORGIA!!!!! Never stop.

There's no rave "revolution". These "ravers" are at most 10 thousand in a city of 1.5 million. The majority of population here does not have neither the means to go clubbing on a regular basis, nor any wish. They are barely scraping out a miserable living, earning 200-250 USD a month, sometimes even less.

South Africa white genocide? How about reporting that.....

Dideba Sakartvelos !!!

Love from Estonia

🇬🇪 мои герои! Huge respect to all Georgian people

The report is rather misguided. Apart from far-right nazi pretenders, plenty of moderate right wingers (which would likely encompass the majority of the Georgian population) have a dislike towards the drug legalization that the segment of the youth dancing in front of the parliament was campaigning for. Tens of thousands of families have been ruined because of drug abuse in the last decades. Social and economic hardship led to a lot of people using drugs to cope. The disdain felt towards those who propagandize drug use is justified. Georgia’s population has been nearly halved in the last thirty years, and is now at only 3.7 million, largely due to the sorts of things moderate right wingers oppose: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, immigration, authoritarian governments backed by the west, wars with Russia, and the like.

I really hope they get the LOVE & Good E's, so they can party like we did in the UK, 30 years ago, it was Brillant like belonging to something special, love for each other, then the criminal justice bill was past and spoilt it I thought. Spiral tribe, Lazy house, Bedlam and Circus warp will always make me smile.

I wish less time was spent giving coverage to fascists....

You won't find a safer, more welcoming and warm place than a rave. It's the closest you can get to spirituality, every kind of person there for one reason, to worship at the altar of the beat. People who don't understand it want to destroy it, but if you took them to one, gave them a pill, their minds would be changed forever. Techno is the solution to solving world peace, ecstasy is the fuel to drive it. Long live techno!!

I am ashamed of my country for this

Bassiani is my home.. when i watch videos about Georgian rave culture and especially Bassiani , tears come on me eyes, it has given me so much that i will be thankful till the end of my time! thank you Bassiani ! 🖤🖤🖤

One of the best nights of my life was here! I will be going back 🇬🇪FTP

IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS JACK, AND JACK HAD A GROOVE! Rave on!

Good documentary, but they are overreacting to the nazi group, they are really small. I think they just gave them weight in the documentary to make It more interesting

Oh wow, it's that all too familiar polarization sweeping the entire world. The world hasn't been anything like this since the 1930's which built the case for world war. "If we dance together; we fight together," is synonymous with WW1WGA in the great clash of civilization.

God bless techno and Georgia.

I am from georgia and that was a scary day...

Trying to make music a gay movement? Music has nothing to do with sexuality, it's music

Hello, Georgian authorities and far right (let's be honest: Nazi) groups. This is the rest of the world calling. You look pretty silly right now. By behaving so violently against your own young people, you're dividing your country and guaranteeing that youth resistance will become a badge of honour and grow in magnitude. This approach has never worked, mainly because it always shoots itself in the foot. Hitler and the Nazis tried to outlaw jazz music in the 1930's. So much for that. The Soviet Union couldn't keep rock and roll music out, nor could American conservatives kill it. Suppression makes stronger. But go ahead, Georgian authorities. Why learn from history? Make your own blunders. Then you can join the other failures.

Song at 00:41 ??

Georgia’s always on my mind mind !

LMAO. BBC is now just like Vice News.

During 2 weeks 6 people died from unknown drugs That's why the police broke down and asked people to leave any drug on the floor And leave the building The arrest was only a security member who was selling drugs

Just to make it clear : It had nothing common with LGBT. nothing at all. All was about drugs. Anyway rave on!

Georgians need to *REPENT* and turn to the Lord and GOD Jesus Christ!

Somehow the comments don't reflect the like to dislike ratio.

Solidarity Georgia! Freedom!

that turned into nazi-bashing quickly!! what about the rave-o-lution?

hongkong,taiwan,tibet,east turkistan,these four countries is not china

Let's be free!

A man will never be called a woman in georgia !!

Wow georgian people are beautiful

From Armenia with love❣️ RAVE ON BETCH

"I know of a few police raids in clubs in Berlin and Ibiza " Nina Javakhadze - She clearly is a raver herself .. she used whatever she had to do her JOB as a Deputy Interior Minister .. or did a few searches for rave-spots in EU when she got the Questions before the interview .. but police raids per say (maybe some few undercover civilians in PROBLEMATIC - very veeeery few spots or when following a certain suspect, YES), however A FULL PLATOON OF POLICEMEN WITH FULL RIOT GEAR AND FULL-AUTOMATIC-MACHINEGUNS aswell do NOT happend in Berlin NOR Ibiza HAHA

Freedom is to respect the law, rules and regulation of lawful government and to take responsibilities for all actions and reactions.

GO SAKARTVELO!!!!!🇬🇪🇱🇧😍

No lgpt No Russia No Europa

Come and rave in Paris, London, Rome, Berlin....we need this

Awesome, I had the shit kicked out of me by the Police in 1986. Field near M25....

This country looks so different from Russia. Georgia looks like Spain.

if you hate russian occupation and if you have an honour in such cases, why u are welcoming russian tourists to serve in restaurants, hotel and plus, u accept money from Russia to interfere your internal politics? :) First, solve your ideas internally, then start to blame on Russia for everything :)

Who else got this on their reccomend a year later

When does the media describe slapping someone in the face as an assault? Every time.... except when they have a slant.

Russia:our economy is the least of your problems.

they are 30 years behind us in social engineering. Next month they get the Simpsons and X-Files.

Strange Timing from BBC as Marijuana was legalized today.

The priest and police are talking about being anti drug yet most of the Vor Zakone come from Georgia lol. Gimme a break.

6:43 That Swastika isn't Georgian by any means, Georgians have their old variation of Swastika called "Borjghali." This guy straight copied Nazi Swastika XD.

respect to Kartvelo brothers!

I'm sure the police could not care less if gays and dance kids died from drugs.

NOOO I WAS A FEW MINUTES AWAY FROM FIRST

stop lgbt propaganda in georgia!!

"this is you..."

We can rave if we want to, we can leave your friends behind Cause your friends don't rave and if they don't rave Well, they're no friends of mine

The lack of sweet tea is disappointing.

We’re is techno Viking

There is battle in the comments

WE DANCE TOGETHER WE FIGHT TOGETHER

This is Democracy - divided society and chaos

Great docu, cannot understand why people cannot live and let live. Rave the world, one love! Tracks: The Age Of Love Jam & Spoon mix Another great track is Emmanuel Top - Acid Phase ;)

Its not about dance. Absolutely not. Its all about how these morons walk in the streets like zombies. Non of them look like humans or anything like humans. They are the threat to our generation and need to be stopped. Georgia is the best in dancing but its not all about dancing.

How ironic that the far right talks about preserving the “Christian culture” and “traditional values”, but yet their actions reflects the opposite of what the Bible states. How can they judge others and act with violence when their own Bible condoms those practices. They judge others call others sinners when they themselves are also sinners. I am not religious but if what the Bible states is true, according to these far right religious conservative groups, then they should know that Jesus doesn’t accept people who act with violence. Haven’t they read it in their bible that hatred it is condemned??? These religious conservatives committing violent acts are as guilty themselves and according to the Bible these people will not be safe. Titus 3:2 “to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone.” 1 Peter 3:9 “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” Proverbs 3:29 “Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.” 1 John 4:20 “Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” Mark 7:6 “He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me” Matthew 23:27-28 “27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” Luke 20:46-47 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” Luke 6:31-36 “31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”

Actually guys... nobody’s gonna speak out bout this but, bassiani is a pretty private community in Georgia. They have verification system where your application can be pending for years while some other guys with contacts they have to staff and owners receive their approval in aboutta hours. Its pretty dark as a club but its pretty dark as an ideology as well. If u r working in NGO; shouting that homosexuality is blessing in the streets and/or being just one stupid child of the rich father u will have full access to any privileges in that context. While in fact, when u go in, all u see is psycho people wandering around like in asylum and these is all that bassiani is about. Im a huge fan of building and artists performing there but the truth has to be spoken!

Would have been nice to mention the legalization of Cannabis and where does it fit in all this.

If only civilisation and prosperity were so easy....

We dance together, We fight together ❤️

Right. Ask those priests what they really do behind the scenes. Hippocrates! God help this people wake up from the dark.

also in club basiani is best place to sell drugs

4:33 well if you think about it georgia never really denied fascism and we are a german ally yk if all that "soviet union" didn't happen and they didn't invade but we are basically still with germany bc let's be honest idk a single fu**ing war where the russian epire/soviet union/russia ever helped us so what the f**k is the surprise when we become nazis yk i'm pretty into nazi tech even tho i'm not racist against jews or anything

I really hope that in few years or a decade will change cus I really want to live in Georgia..

Track iD - 4:03 ??? Serious Tune !

Rave on Georgia ❤

No one cares what is the real issue, People died and keep dying of drugs.

divide and conquer

anti-lgbt means supporting family values? mother, father and children?

Это чья заказуха? Перед выборами да?

ყველა LGBT - ს მოუტან გამზრდელი მაგათ გამჩენს ჩავაჯვი მუტელში

i wonder why the bbc always lets the right wing groups have a say !

Good job youngsters all hope on don’t let this evil ppl steal your country or tell you what to do !!

Georgia the country y'all. Capital Tbilisi and we kindly ask you to mind your Ps and Qs

The reduction of freedom to a political and questionable message of sexuality just as a matter of religion is undercutting the true spectrum of social and political freedom. Both parties herein are rather belittling of such a powerful and liberating right. A concerned civilian should abstain from such belligerent stance and pursue the full hegemonic potential of voiltion as a philosophy and a decent, honorable way-of-life....

I am sad to say but our church has a lot to be desired, as far as LGBT goes they do plenty of that with their own time, nowadays our church is like cosa nostra

We are not against progress, but we are against the destruction of our fundamental values ​​(race, culture, religion, morality, etc.)

The narrator sounds like a person from aljazeera

Interesting that the rave scene is somehow a LGBT thing (btw. how dare they not include the other 28093472098374 genders and oritentations). As a raver i thought it was a place for everyone not just a place for LGBTDKFHGDFKHGDFKHGDKFHGDKFHGKDFHGKDFHGKDHFGKDFHG people.

What is the song at 4:06 ?
