Documentary Screening: What is Democracy? (2018)
Screening of Astra Taylor's documentary What Is Democracy? (107 min) with English subtitles
Join us for a screening of What is Democracy?
Coming at a moment of profound political and social crisis, What is Democracy? reflects on the word we too often take for granted. Director Astra Taylor's idiosyncratic philosophical journey takes us from ancient Athens' groundbreaking experiment in self-government to capitalism's roots in medieval Italy; from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collapse; to the United States reckoning with its racist past and the growing gap between rich and poor.
