Us Now from Banyak Films on Vimeo.

Die US-Dokumentation “Us Now” behandelt in 60 Minuten die Frage, wie sich Demokratie und Regierungen öffnen können und transparenter werden.

Englische Version mit deutschen Untertitel.

A film project about the power of mass collaboration, government and the internet.

“An important and provocative film that people who believe in democracy need to watch”
- Don Tapscott (Wikinomics)

In his student flat in Colchester, Jack Howe is staring intently into his computer screen. He is picking the team for Ebbsfleet United’s FA Trophy Semi-Final match against Aldershot . Around the world 35,000 other fans are doing the same thing, because together, they own and manage the football club. If distributed networks of people can run complex organisations such as football clubs, what else can they do?

Us Now takes a look at how this type of participation could transform the way that countries are governed. It tells the stories of the online networks whose radical self-organising structures threaten to change the fabric of government forever.
