Dear Michael,
first movie that comes to my mind
Salt of the Earth
here is a link
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047443/
I remember mostly the story of the miners' women that organized to fight
the mining company to "protect" their husbands. It also shows vividly
the connection between selforganisation and emancipation in a highly
volatile context.
As I remember the movie, made in the 50s, was shown many decades
later... it was certainly un- whatever, such as Un-American...
Greetings from Berlin where I and my family and neighbors are speechless
about the airliner shot down over the Ukraine...

Last night I watched a film called The Dallas Buyers Club. It won a couple of
Academy Awards last year. It tells the story from the mid 1980s about how
groups of people living with AIDS self organised themselves to source and
experiment with various 'unauthorised' treatments. This fringe work ultimately
shaped more mainstream treatments. Over breakfast this morning I was thinking
about it some more and thinking what a powerful example it was of a
self-organising system. There was a complex/wicked problem, a few people
stepped forward combining passion and responsibility and invited other people
to join them.
Then I started wondering what other movies give such good illustrations of the
power of self organisation. When we try to tell others about the
self-organising principles of OST it is usually easiest to tell stories and
movies are a form of story telling.
I accept that if we live in a self-organising world then all movies will
illustrate self-organisation in some way. However, I suspect that some films
illustrate it more clearly than others. What movie would you point to as
vividly illustrating the power of self-organisation, and why?
