Strikingly crafted film which resonates hope in our age of apathy and despair
12 March 2018
This is a wonderful true story, but brutally and dramatically highlights the scary journey that we are all travelling together, to an unknown destination. It may be a dark horizon, but there remains a glimmer of light and hope.

The film raises key questions about our global future and suggests real-life possible solutions, most notably on an individual, local and community scale. These may not provide clear cut answers to all the issues we face, but they do address them with passion, achieved by a small number of dedicated folk, providing tangible evidence to the viewer. The results are impressive and appealing. We witness stories which are inspiring, where ordinary people have made simple or, perhaps, extraordinary changes to their lifestyles, consequently enjoying better lives than they were before. They set the example for a brighter, more prosperous future for everyone and they're not millionaires nor own huge tracts of real estate.

We need to be willing to listen, to review our own existence and to identify what is really important to us; how content and fulfilled are we really? If we wish to adapt and ultimately flourish during these changing times then let's face the basic truth of the situation. This film clearly and effectively demonstrates the obvious fact, that is so commonly ignored, that we definitely MUST start to consume differently, the relatively painless steps that can be taken and choices we can all make, presented in such a beautiful, engaging and heart-rending way. This is the clarity that we need in this time of impending crisis.

I just hope that this film and its message will be rewarded with a global reception and recognition, as it's a message for us all. Thank you to the film makers and participants for reassuring me that human life can be worth living, for the good of us all. A refreshing philosophy for our World of today and tomorrow.
