Us Now By Ivo Gormley
I have had the pleasure of watching a documentary called “Us Now” by Ivo Gormley. Whilst I don’t think it presents a balanced and equal perspective of the topic as I think a documentary should, the content of this film is definitely well thought out and is a good conversation starter. If you have an hour or so, I can only urge you to watch the film, or download the torrent (completely legal) to watch later.
From their site:
Can we all govern? Us Now looks at how ‘user’ 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. Us Now follows the fate of Ebbsfleet United, a football club owned and run by its fans; Zopa, a bank in which everyone is the manager; and Couch Surfing, a vast online network whose members share their homes with strangers.
