Doing Nothing All Day: Freistunde

Participation is an artistic medium: the documentary FREISTUNDE about self-determined education integrates the experimental film-project Democracy on Super8 with clips by over ninety people. From filmmaker to preschooler - people were invited to take part. A young mother starts the search for the ideal school for her son and discovers the tradition of democratic schools. She speaks with scientists and protagonists of the democratic education movement in Germany, England and Israel.
