Exercise Democracy
Democracy doesn’t function unless citizens participate in the political process. While blood is shed in the struggle to establish a democratic system in some parts of the world, in other parts of the world democracy is routinely undermined by money, power and corruption under the sleepy eye of a complacent public. Films found here dive into the challenges and rewards of democracy, including the influence of money on elections, the importance of a fair judicial system, the role of journalism and freedom of the press, and the inalienable right to free speech. If you need a reminder on why democracy is a muscle worth flexing, watch these films.
