An amateur filmmaker from Nepal just won the Democracy Video Challenge, put on by the state department, that asked for submissions of short films from all around the world that finished the sentence “Democracy is…” I’d embed the videos, but wordpress makes you pay more for that, so the links will have to do. The winner from Nepal is pretty good, but I like also like this other one from Nepal just for the creativity.
I don’t think all of winners are as good as the above two from Nepal (there’s a bit too much cheese in the rest), but this one is pretty powerful. Between the two from Nepal, you get a remarkably good picture of the problems facing this country: trash in the streets, power outages, political violence.
