DESCRIPTION:What is Democracy?\nView trailer\nGrand Lake Theater\n\nOne Night 
 Only!\nWednesday, March 6, 2019\nMain auditorium at 7:15pm\nAstra Taylor in 
 person with philosopher Wendy Brown, moderator Anasuya Sengupta and other 
 special guests\n\nComing at a moment of profound political and social 
 crisis, What Is Democracy? reflects on a word we too often take for 
 granted.\n\nDirector Astra Taylor’s idiosyncratic, philosophical journey 
 spans millennia and continents: from ancient Athens’ groundbreaking 
 experiment in self-government to capitalism’s roots in medieval Italy; 
 from modern-day Greece grappling with financial collapse and a mounting 
 refugee crisis to the United States reckoning with its racist past and the 
 growing gap between rich and poor.\n\nFeaturing a diverse cast—including 
 celebrated theorists, trauma surgeons, activists, factory workers, asylum 
 seekers, and former prime ministers—this urgent film connects the past 
 and the present, the emotional and the intellectual, the personal and the 
 political, in order to provoke and inspire. If we want to live in 
 democracy, we must first ask what the word even means.\n\nTaylor was active 
 in the Occupy Movement and was the co-editor of Occupy!: An OWS-Inspired 
 Gazette with Sarah Leonard of Dissent magazine and Keith Gessen of 
 n+1.[18] The broadsheet covered Occupy Wall Street in five issues over 
 the course of the first year of the occupation and was later anthologized 
 by Verso Books\n\n\n
