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.

Featuring a diverse cast—including celebrated theorists, trauma 
surgeons, activists, factory workers, asylum seekers, and former prime 
ministers—this urgent film connects the past and the present, the 
emotional and the intellectual, the personal and the political, in order 
to provoke and inspire. If we want to live in democracy, we must first 
ask what the word even means.

 From the director of /*Zizek!*/ and */Examined Life!/*
