Transition Old Sixth Ward Film Series presents In Transition 1.0
Share food, watch movies, and chat with your neighbors! Transition Old Sixth Ward will be showing films on the topics of alternative energy sources that can help relieve our dependence on fossil fuels, actions that you and your family can take to shrink your carbon footprint, and the Transition Movement.
We'll start each evening with "pot luck" snacks and hanging out with neighbors, and conclude with discussion.
In Transition 1.0 is the first detailed film about the Transition movement filmed by those that know it best--those who are making it happen on the ground. The Transition movement is about communities around the world responding to peak oil and climate change with creativity, imagination and humor, and setting about rebuilding their local economies and communities. It is positive, solutions focused, viral and fun.
In the film you'll see stories of communities creating their own local currencies, setting up their own pubs, planting trees, growing food, celebrating localness, caring, sharing. You’ll see neighbours sharing their land with neighbours that have none, local authorities getting behind their local Transition initiatives, schoolchildren making news in 2030, and you'll get a sense of the scale of this emerging movement. It is a story of hope, and it is a call to action, and we think you will like it very much.
