[Chris Corrigan]

The Singing Revolution is a great film that documents change through self organization. In this case about the events in the late 1980s in Estonia

It tells the story from the mid 1980s about how groups of people living with AIDS self organised themselves to source and experiment with various 'unauthorised' treatments. This fringe work ultimately shaped more mainstream treatments. Over breakfast this morning I was thinking about it some more and thinking what a powerful example it was of a self-organising system. There was a complex/wicked problem, a few people stepped forward combining passion and responsibility and invited other people to join them.
