Contents/Summary

Summary
Democracy is in crisis. A new generation of elected leaders are dismantling freedom and democracy as we know it. Filmed over three years in five countries, Freedom for the Wolf is an investigation into the changing global political climate. From the young students of Hong Kong, to a rapper in post-Arab Spring Tunisia, and the viral comedians of Bollywood, we discover how people from all over the globe are facing the same challenges; they are fighting against elected leaders who trample on human rights, minorities, and their political opponents. Philosopher Isaiah Berlin warned against this political hijacking long ago, “freedom for the wolves has often meant death for the sheep”. Now the wolves are on the rise. Can they be contained?
