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.

Think globally. Act locally.
Quoting Michael Wood <[email protected]>:
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.
Then I started wondering what other movies give such good
illustrations of the power of self organisation. When we try to tell
others about the self-organising principles of OST it is usually
easiest to tell stories and movies are a form of story telling.
I accept that if we live in a self-organising world then all movies
will illustrate self-organisation in some way. However, I suspect
that some films illustrate it more clearly than others. What movie
would you point to as vividly illustrating the power of
self-organisation, and why?
