Being There

Agenda: People and power. Film and conversation, hosted by Tankesmien Agenda. In the film we meet the gardener Mr. Chance, who for the first time ventures out into society after his employer dies. There he meets rich, influential people and soon gains access to the elite and is eventually proposed as a presidential candidate. The film makes the audience reflect on what qualities we value, what inspires trust and what kind of people we choose to give power in society. But it also focuses on the media, and what role they play in creating illusions of people, without it being connected to reality. Before the film there will be a short conversation about what kind of people gain power and why, with head of department at Tankesmien Agenda, Axel Fjeldavli, and a relevant expert.
