Athens: The Birth of Democracy
Athens: The Birth of Democracy
Athens: Birth of Democracy traces the dramatic rise—and fall—of one of history’s most radical political experiments. From the murder that ignited popular rule to Cleisthenes’ groundbreaking reforms, the film reveals how Athenian democracy was built, challenged, and transformed. It confronts the system’s contradictions—slavery, exclusion, and imperial ambition—while charting its collapse amid internal dissent, philosophical opposition, and the rise of Alexander the Great. This is the story of a daring idea that reshaped power and still shapes our world today.
