Have you ever wondered about what the rest of the world thinks about the United States? More
importantly, what is true? Considering Democracy provides information in order to stimulate
discussion and move the American debate toward finding solutions. Based on interviews and scenes
from outside of the United States, each section of the film playfully explores the views with statistical
comparisons and ends with a question. It looks at seemingly different topics while creating a tapestry
of tantalizing information that becomes interwoven and interconnected. Considering Democracy
brings refreshing points of view to the political debates, while bringing a new meaning to the term of
independent filmmaking, the filmmaker having traveled across 10 countries by herself, and produced,
directed, shot, and edited the film. The rest of the world is a source of intelligence that acts as a
beautiful, yet pragmatic reflection of political power in the United States.
