Taxis course through Toronto's streets while cab drivers from all over the world, some with PhD's, but all with their own unique wisdom, voice their opinions on the meaning of democracy and the importance of freedom. Director Peter Janes captures some impressive stories from the backseat: An aging Greek driver, Dimitri, describes Democratus from ancient Athens. Kalsang, a former Tibetan, explains how much he cherishes his new life in Canada. And "Mr. Geography," Mohammed Collins shares his encyclopedic knowledge as part of his long-standing quest to educate his riders. In Good Forum describes the state of the world from the perspective of those who navigate it every day.
