the DEMOCRACY project

This is a a collection of films about DEMOCRACY. They are designed for broadcast throughout the world and will be accompanied by a website and a widespread post?transmission distribution programme.

There will be ten one hour films for broadcast. In addition at least two titles will be available in a longer form for theatrical distribution, and the possibility of versioning selected titles into 2 or 3 episode mini?series will also be explored.

The films will be made in different styles and with different methods ? with the support of the best professionals in the world.

We hope that some of the films will be shown via a second broadcast window, and we thus expect the involvement of international networks and organisations, such as: ABU, Al Jazeera, ASBU, BBC World, CNN and the EBU.
