[OSList] movies that illustrate self organisation

[Lourdes Adriana Diaz-Berrio Doring]

For me it was a movie for children called chiken run. It is a grup of
chikens traying to escape....but there is a natural leader in that story,
the grup is not participating that much...may be it is not a good exemple?
I have to reflect mote on this question..thank you !
