Still Berning - VPRO documentary - 2016
816Bernie Sanders lost the primaries to nominate a US presidential candidate for the Democratic Party to Hillary Clinton. But it was a glorious loss. And it has become a beginning, not an end. The end of the Bernie Sanders campaign marks the start of a political movement. What are the next steps for this movement and what role will it play in future elections?
Bernie’s campaign made history by receiving a record number of donations from individual citizens, not Wall Street. For the future this could dramatically reduce the enormous power that corporations, banks and Super PACS currently have in American politics. New technology, apps and software have the potential to make campaigning more accessible and affordable to a much wider variety of people and a new kind of political candidates.
With: Jane O’Meara Sanders (partner), Arun Chaudhary (creative director for Bernie’s online campaign), Zephyr Teachout (candidate for the US House of Representative), Saikat Chakrabarti (director digital organising technology) and Josh Smith, Rapi Castillo & Jon Culver (Progressive Coders/Coders for Sanders).
