Meaningful Movies: Living the Change

Online Event

Please join us for our free screening of Living the Change, a feature-length documentary that explores solutions to global crises we face today. Inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and their communities show us how we can all live sustainably and in a regenerative way. Directors Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson weave stories from their travels together with interviews that showcase experts explaining how we came to be where we are today. From forest gardens to composting toilets, community supported agriculture to timebanking, Living the Change offers ways for each of us to rethink our approach to how we live.
