Video:”Us Now” – How might participation change the way countries are governed?

James Burke

15th May 2009

Us Now from Banyak Films on Vimeo.

A great bloke i know called Ivo Gormley made this amazing film in his spare time. I don’t how he managed to make this on weekends, but it’s an accomplished production.

Film Synopsis:

The founding principles of [the projects in this documentary] — transparency, self-selection, open participation — are coming closer and closer to the mainstream of our social and political lives. Us Now describes this transition and confronts politicians George Osborne and Ed Milliband with the possibilities for participative government as described by Don Tapscott and Clay Shirky amongst others.
