   Vanessa Hope, award-winning filmmaker, journalist, and director of the acclaimed documentary Invisible Nation, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about democracy, authoritarianism, Taiwan, China, and the future of freedom around the world. Vanessa recently published a powerful and deeply personal essay:  "Four Generations, Three Chinas, One Taiwan: My Family's War Story and the Boomerang of Authoritarianism" In it, she traces an extraordinary journey spanning four generations—from her grandfather's secret World War II rescue missions in China, to her own work documenting Taiwan's democratic transformation, to the growing global challenge posed by authoritarianism in the 21st century. Our discussion explores: • Taiwan's remarkable democratic journey• Lessons from World War II and the struggle for freedom• The rise of authoritarianism around the world• The role of storytelling, film, and citizen engagement in defending democracy• What ordinary people can do to build a more peaceful, democratic future Vanessa's documentary Invisible Nation has helped bring international attention to Taiwan's vibrant democracy and the challenges it faces today.

   A Supreme Court for Earth!

   Roger Abbiss is the founder of Occupy Earth, a global grassroots movement to establish a World Federation.   He discovered The World Federalist Movement (WFM) while researching a political-thriller screenplay and is now a board member of WFM-Canada. Alarmed by the multiple existential risks that we face and the inability of our current systems and institutions to adequately address them, he is working urgently to develop a better way to run our world -- and ways to give the wider public a vision of the kind of world we humans can create! Roger says that the majority of people across the planet agree that something needs to be done -- the problem is with the architecture of the global political system. Even leaders who would want to address the issues can’t do so without a global system change. We need to drive that change. "When the people lead, the leaders will follow." A lifelong entrepreneur, he has created enterprises ranging from telecom to food service. Believing that business could, and should be a force for good, Roger increasingly focused his business enterprises on social and environmental concerns. He is co-founder of MRKTBOX, a business that connects consumers to small organic farms via grocery, produce, and coffee delivery. The company is a certified B Corp. and was named one of Canada’s fastest-growing companies by the Globe & Mail in 2023. occupyearth.org See the video and ask questions of future guests at:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theworldismycountry.com/club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by: „World Citizen“ Jahcoustix feat.
