Have you ever wondered about what the rest of the world thinks about the United States? More importantly, what is true about the things people say? CONSIDERING DEMOCRACY seeks 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. It looks at seemingly different topics while creating a tapestry of tantalizing information that becomes interwoven and interconnected, while providing concise information and a question to further the debate.

CONSIDERING DEMOCRACY brings refreshing points of view to the political discussion, 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.
