Synopsis

How to Save Democracy

With democracy in the U.S. crumbling, why is this happening and how do we save it? How to Save Democracy is an incisive and provocative film that explores the roots of democracy and its ebbs and flows over its history in the U.S., and why it is struggling to continue.

Wonders of the Sea

The ocean depths are explored with the aid of a submarine chamber of Williamson's invention and a few hardy souls. The construction of the device is examined; but most of the footage is given to plant and animal life, a girl swimming among the coral growths, and two divers who encounter a moray and an octopus.
