Our discussion about the social ties needs for informal mechanisms for justice to operate (debatably), reminded me of a trailer for a documentary film I saw recently.

This film, about children walking to school in the US and Japan, is still in the process of being made. One of the producers is Len Schoppa our Associate Dean and Professor of Politics. I am very much looking forward to the film, not least because it seems to engage some of the themes we were thinking through in relation to Ellickson’s book.
