The McCourtney In
stitute for Democracy is excited to host its first ever film screening a
nd we can't think of a better film to show.
Coming at a
moment of profound political and social crisis, "What I
s Democracy?" reflects on a word we too often take for
granted.
Director Astra Taylor’s idiosyncratic, philosophica
l journey spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athens’ gro
undbreaking experiment in self-government to capitalism’s roots in
medieval Italy; from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collaps
e and a mounting refugee crisis to the United States reckoning with its
racist past and the growing gap between rich and poor.
Featuring a
diverse cast—including celebrated theorists, trauma surgeons, act
ivists, factory workers, asylum seekers, and former prime ministers&mdas
h;this urgent film connects the past and the present, the emotional and
the intellectual, the personal and the political, in order to provoke an
d inspire. If we want to live in democracy, we must first ask what the w
ord even means.
