[OSList] movies that illustrate self organisation

[Chris Kloth]

Not quite on point, but over the years the M*A*S*H television show  
depicted many marvelous examples of self-organization, as well as  
other examples of healthy interventions in a perpetually unhealthy  
setting - the Korean War.

> Last night I watched a film called The Dallas Buyers Club. It won a  
> couple of Academy Awards last year. 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.
