About Why Democracy?

Why Democracy? Is the biggest factual media event in the history of the world.

October, 2007: Ten documentaries. Twenty-two short films. Over 30 national broadcasters. Hundreds of millions of viewers.

Democracy promises freedom, peace and prosperity. It promises its citizens rights, a voice and a vote. But can it live up to its promises? Today, some people fight for democracy, while others take it for granted. But why democracy? What¹s so great about it? Just because it¹s popular, does that make it good?
