Why Democracy

While I was reading Metro Newspaper, I came across something I think might be of interest to all of us with the pending election, and well with our online savvyness. Metro and CBC are promoting a democracy campaign, where they talk to important people and ask them straight up questions about democracy. I enjoy reading what these people have to say on such a broad, yet controversial topic. This past week they’ve featured, Margaret Atwood, and Reverend Jesse James.

So I was curious about this, and decided to check out their website Why Democracy, and it’s definitely worth a look. The website is really good, with videos challenging the idea of democracy.

Their introduction sums up what they’re trying to do:
“Why Democracy? is a documentary project using film to start a global conversation about democracy.”


And you can read the Q&A at www.metropoint.com
