Qu'est-ce que la démocratie?

Details

Un voyage philosophique issu de la quête de la réalisatrice pour mieux comprendre les paradoxes, les joies et les problèmes de la démocratie. Entremêlant les exemples contemporains de lutte pour la démocratie et des conversations avec les grands politicologues de l’heure, le film met à jour et fouille des thèmes intemporels, fait le lien entre le passé et le présent, suscite la réflexion et inspire.
