I managed to see a showing of the film 'This is what democracy looks like' at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. The queue for returns was very long. This is a film you cheer as you watch. Do whatever you possibly can to see it.

>>>At the end of this month, Channel 4 will broadcast the pilot of a unique programme which, according to its producers, will offer "a radical new approach to current affairs and politics inspired by video activists". Alt-World will feature stories by video activists in Brazil, Australia, the United States, Yugoslavia and Britain.<<<

Anyone know when this is on?
