Description

Us Now is a documentary film project “about the power of mass collaboration, the government and the Internet” The New York Times describes it as a film which “paints a future in which every citizen is connected to the state as easily as to Facebook, choosing policies, questioning politicians, collaborating with neighbours.” The documentary weaves together the perceptions of leading thinkers on the power of the web, with the overriding suggestion that people gain a sense of satisfaction from active participation rather than symbolic representation in decision-making processes. (Rebecca Frankel, editor of Channel 4’s FourDocs)
