Leviathan

Summary

Alexander Beiner’s documentary asks why social trust is breaking down and how we might find it again. Drawing on myth, psychology, economics and systems theory, with voices from Nora Bateson to Yanis Varoufakis, it looks for the ‘deep code’ of culture beneath our systems, confronting their shadows before turning to hope and healing.

Rationale

It gets closest to us in how it’s used: screenings are meant to bring people together for embodied conversation, a small context for relating differently.
