"Democracy is something you do." - Abbie Hoffman

Winston Churchill once called democracy "...the worst form of government, except all the others." Of course, democracy (commonly understood to mean rule by the people) has never gotten solidly defined. Astra Taylor's "What Is Democracy?" addresses this issue, the changing understanding of democracy over the centuries, and how assorted issues - debt, racism, etc - can affect democracy.

The documentary does not give a definition, leaving it up to the viewer to decide what democracy should mean. Basically, the documentary uses the socratic method, posing questions that might not have ready answers. In the end, what one can draw from it is that democracy (however one defines it) can only flourish if the masses pay attention and participate. The alternative is a kakistocracy (rule by the worst or least qualified people).

Worth seeing, featuring interviews with Prof. Cornel West and former Greek PM George Papandreou.
