Blueberry Soup, a feature length documentary, sits in the epicenter of one of the
most exciting movements to happen in our lifetime, the Icelandic "people's
movement." Jaws dropped around the world on October 9, 2008 as a small
collective of bankers brought an entire nation to its knees. The policies and
structures that were previously in place are no longer working and the time has
come to reflect and redesign.
Film maker Eileen Jerrett from Seattle will join a discussion via Skype following the
