Transition Parkallen
summer film and discussion series
June 29: What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire.
“Elegant and almost poetic in tone, What a Way To Go gently takes us by the hand as it explains to us the harsh reality of how things really are, where they’re likely to go, and how difficult the challenge is.”
July 6: Escape from Suburbia
"Meet ordinary people making extraordinary choices as they tackle the key issues facing us today -- the rising cost and supply of energy, the roller-coaster economy, and the faded memories of the [North] American Dream."
July 13: Money as Debt I & II
"Two short animated documentary films about the monetary systems practiced through modern banking. Film 1 visually demonstrates the process of money creation by private corporations (banks). Film 2 examines the crash of 2008 and resulting taxpayer bailouts. Both fims superbly demystify the financial system."
July 20: In Transition 1.0
"Presents the Transition Town model of community organizing to address the triple threat of climate change, peak oil, and global financial instability."
