interactive conversation
We're on a mission to get people talking about issues in a more productive way. And to do that, we have to practice. The Dysmocracy project is about more than just a film. When we hold screenings, we invite the audience to think out loud through surveys and discussions. Audiences come away feeling more able to engage on the tough issues we all face as citizens.
What do we practice? Seeing an issue from someone else's point of view. Looking at our own opinions and asking questions. Approaching issues with empathy and openness, critical thinking and skepticism. But don't worry - it's fun, too.
In the end....maybe you'll change your mind?
