Us Now is an upcoming documentary about the changing state of online participation, politics and democracy in the United Kingdom. It is produced by Banyak Films, in association with the RSA and directed by Ivo Gormley.

Us Now tells personal stories about groups of individuals who are directly solving their own problems through online collaboration. This film is not just about the literal power of the Internet.

Us Now takes us inside the homes, minds and projects of the pioneering users, creators and developers of new, web-based networks. It charts the progress of these initiatives, as their scope becomes ever broader and the volume of participants gives them even greater influence. How then could government adapt to our renewed enthusiasm for collective collaboration?

Us Now raises these questions. Our experts: mums, dads, teenagers, patients, football fans, politicians, bloggers, customers, citizens... provide the answers.
