What is Democracy?

Description

Coming at a moment of profound political and social crisis, What is Democracy? reflects on a word we too often take for granted. Director Astra Taylor’s philosophical journey spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athen’s experiment in self-government to capitalism’s roots in medieval Italy to the mounting refugee crisis in the USA. Featuring a diverse cast – including activists, factory workers, asylum seekers and former prime ministers, this doc will provoke and inspire.
