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 idiosyncratic, philosophical journey spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athens? groundbreaking experiment in self-government to capitalism?s roots in medieval Italy; from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collapse and a mounting refugee crisis to the United States reckoning with its racist past and the growing gap between rich and poor. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival.** *"...a fascinating and enlightening treatise." - Rob Aldam, **Backseat Mafia*** *"...a sharp political reminder to pay attention to politics and to remember that the personal and the local are political." - Charlie Phillips, **The Guardian***
