"The first time I watched this film, I had tears in my eyes. Look what has happened here (in Iceland). In the circles of constitutional scholars, this is a celebrated process. There is something deeply moving about what happened here, and it will be remembered as that." - Dr. Lawrence Lessig, Harvard University
