Ystrad Meurig , GB
I'm a BAFTA-winning documentary filmmaker specialising in films on globalisation, climate change and indigenous peoples. I became interested in direct democracy when making films about egalitarian societies and have spent the last ten years studying how to synthesise the tools, methods, and narratives of our ancestral past into the complex civilisations of today. I am currently in discussion with high-level tech experts to fund an open-source direct-democracy app.

HISTORY
Bruce is best know for his filmed experiences with remote indigenous peoples and his documented studies of globalisation and climate change. In recent years he made a feature documentary about humankind's connection to nature and our egalitarian past.
