A film documentary “Considering Democracy—Topics to Discuss with The People” will be shown at the Meg Perry Center in Portland, September 22 at 7:00 pm. There will be a discussion with the filmmaker, Keya Lea Horiuchi, following the showing.

What does the rest of the world think of U.S. domestic and foreign policy? While the U.S. is perceived as a beacon of democracy, how does it compare to other democratic nations? Americans are continually told through their media that freedom and democracy are supported abroad, but is it true?

Shot in ten countries, “Considering Democracy” weaves together seemingly different topics into an interconnected tapestry of information. People from around the world act as a mirror for Americans to see a reflection of political power in the United States.
