How to Fix Democracy

Directed, written, and narrated by Andrew Keen, the How To Fix Democracy film is a documentary about the contemporary crisis of liberal democracy. Filmed in Europe and the United States, it features dozens of interviews from some of the world's top experts on democracy from academia, media, and government. The documentary charts the rise of illiberal populism and offers economic, technological, and cultural strategies to save liberal democracy. This film is a timely reminder that the defense of freedom is the most critical issue facing us in the early 21st century. It is based on the successful How To Fix Democracy video and podcast series.
