Ohio Northern University’s Center for Democratic Governance and Rule of Law will present a screening of “Blueberry Soup” and hold a panel discussion on the documentary with filmmaker Ellen Jarrett in the Dicke Forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 7.  The event is free and open to the public.

“Blueberry Soup” chronicles the three-year aftermath of the Icelandic financial collapse, which resulted in the extraordinary re-writing of the nation’s constitution. After extreme frustration and a sense of powerlessness, Iceland elected a committee of 25 non-politicians to rewrite its constitution to ensure that such a disaster would never happen again.
