| Summary |
These films started with the kind of question you wonder about sometimes: what would it take for a great idea to become the law of the land? How would that story work? How does democracy work, in fact? HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS NOW looks into the black box between elections and legislation, and seeks to understand what sorts of collaborations and pathways were actually there. The idea we chose was immigration reform, and the tale we followed took us all over -- Iowa, Kansas, California, and Arizona, as well as Capitol Hill. We've ended up with ten films linking dozens of fascinating people, each connected by a commitment to change the way that the United States handles the bedrock national identity issue of immigration. Together, the ten make up one very big story -- a story that's only visible at the end of the journey. |
