Blueberry Soup: How Iceland changed the way we think about the world?
Blueberry Soup is an extraordinary documentary by Eileen Jerrett about the constitutional
change in Iceland following the financial crisis of 2008. This is a notwellknown story
of grassroots crowdsourced constitutionalism.
The film is a deeply touching account of a concerned group of citizens reinventing democracy
through the rewriting of the nation's constitution. The film is coming to campus this Fall as part of
a full U.S. screening tour which began at Harvard University as a guest of Lawrence Lessig. The
tour is meant to evoke discussions with students about participatory democracy in today's
political climate. And to ask the question "If given a second chance, how does a nation rebuild?"
The film runs for 80 minutes, followed by a Q&A with the director.
Lunch from Z&H is provided. This event, co-sponsored by the Law School and Jessup Moot Court, is free and open to the public.
