Why Democracy? - الحلقة 5

Democracy is arguably the greatest political buzzword of our time and is invoked by political leaders, corporations and citizens alike– but what does it mean? Can it be defined, measured, safeguarded? Can it be sold, bought, and transplanted? Can it grow? Can it die? What does it mean to people who can’t even talk about it? What does it mean to people who don’t believe in it? And what does it mean to you? In October 2007, ten one-hour films focused on contemporary democracy and its underlying values were broadcast in the world’s largest ever informational media event. More than 48 broadcasters on all continents participated, airing the films in over 181 countries. ‍
