You Tube: Despotism - 1946. 9:56 duration.
This old documentary is a bit damaged; the sound is a bit off at the beginning but gets
better a minute or so in.
Film measures how a society ranks on a spectrum stretching from democracy to
despotism. It explains how societies and nations can be measured by the degree that
power is concentrated and respect for the individual is restricted. Where does your
community, state and nation stand on these scales?
