Society Uncensored Season 3: What About Democracy?
How do we respond to the crisis of democracy?
Online Premiere April 8, 2024 at 8pm EET

In an era where we see a surge of anti-democratic phenomena and manifestations of intolerance multiply, questions arise about the state of democracy nowadays and how fascism circulates untethered and receives legitimization for its violent expression.
