Extraordinary. The whole film is shot heavily through the framework of Wendy Brown's brilliant 2016 polemic Undoing the Demos, where she argues how neoliberalism eats away demos from within. The film rightly begins and ends with Greece and uses it prominently as a test case for how the ideals of democracy match up with its contemporary reality. Taylor is strong in exploring structures of power in the form of racial&economic domination. One conspicuous weakness is migration debate and how this issue plays into global v. local debate. Brown's "constitutive we" appears weak in her telling but Taylor barely scratches surface. Is this a simple case of free movement of capital but not of ppl?
