Film: Documentary Considering Democracy: 8 Things to Ask Your Representative

  • Picture-1_large

During the first presidential debate, Barack Obama noted that the Americans are "less respected now than we were eight years ago" and promised to "restore America's standing." However, while polling data indicates that anti-American sentiment has blossomed during the Bush Administration, America's standing in the world has been less than stellar for decades. A new documentary, Considering Democracy: 8 Things to Ask Your Representative, details just what the rest of the globe thinks about us. A fast-paced jaunt through the realm of public opinion, the informative film features ordinary citizens from ten countries discussing how the US measures up on eight issues, including the revolving-door phenomenon, work and vacation time, and health care.
