Us Now – imagining a radical future

Us Now is a documentary film about how the future might be with mass collaboration and active participation in every activity of companies, Government and society. Where everyone could be a bank manager, or the part owner of a football club:

In his student flat in Colchester, Jack Howe is staring intently into his computer screen. He is picking the team for Ebbsfleet United’s FA Trophy Semi-Final match against Aldershot . Around the world 35,000 other fans are doing the same thing, because together, they own and manage the football club. If distributed networks of people can run complex organisations such as football clubs, what else can they do?

Available for free viewing online. You can also download it through a torrent.

Also, a list of websites of the real-life collaborative organizations mentioned in the film. And a Financial Times article about the film.
