What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And most importantly: what can be done about it? In this documentary we follow Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, famous for his non-fiction classic Bowling Alone (2000), on a hunt for solutions for a democracy in crisis.
A documentary that offers challenging insights into the importance of community building and social capital. Can the further unraveling of American society be stopped?
TALK Strike! Bowling-internationals Jack Edelaar en Ron van den Boogaard betreden samen met hun clubgenote, onze festivaldirecteur Daisy van de Zande, het podium. Wat is hun ervaring als lid van de bowlinggemeenschap? Herkennen zij zich in Putnam’s door bowling geïnspireerde ideeën?
Onderzoeker Annica Brummel en ervaringsdeskundige Robin Smits van de HAN University of Applied Sciences sluiten aan. Zij doen onderzoek op het gebied van sociale kwaliteit. Ze reflecteren mee op de film en stellen nieuwsgierige vragen aan de bowlers op het podium.
