Wikipedia begins with a promise: knowledge production, which for millennia was in the hands of elites, is to be radically democratized. Anyone can contribute, regardless of education level or background. Is the online project a utopia come true? In the film, „Wikipidians“ from Egypt, Germany, Ghana, South Africa, Tunisia and the USA have their say. Is today’s Wikipedia conservative or radical? Is it an online re-launch of Eurocentric and androcentric knowledge production – or a truly global project?
