Close out your book reading by enjoying a beautiful film “PLANET LOCAL: A Quiet Revolution”
This 50-minute film gives voice to a growing number of people building a more beautiful world. From restoring topsoil, to sharing traditional knowledge, to opposing free trade treaties and innovating new ways of supporting local businesses, their actions are forging a new path forward for humanity.
The film features grassroots activists from every continent alongside internationally known figures like Russell Brand, Noam Chomsky, Vandana Shiva, Naomi Klein, Jane Goodall, Gabor Maté, and Helena Norberg-Hodge – all of them bringing inspiration and clarity to a world full of dark news.
