Moore County Sustainable Film SeriesTuesday, April 14th, 6:30-8pm | Sandhills Community College, Dempsey Student Center, Clement Dining Room
Our Next Film: “The Power of Community- How Cuba Survived Peak Oil”
Sustainable Sandhills will be showing the second film in our Film Series focused on sustainability-related topics. The desire of Sustainable Sandhills is to heighten public awareness of pressing sustainability issues and to encourage community dialogue following each film.
The next film in our sustainable film series is the inspiring and award winning documentary, “The Power of Community-How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” by the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions. The film documents the struggle of the Cuban people after they became the first country faced with the peak oil crisis. With oil supplies drastically reduced and hunger spreading, people were left with no other choice and resorted to growing food wherever they could, which led to widespread urban gardening. As a follow-up to our upcoming Urban Farm Tour, “The Power of community” will take a look at local food as a necessity.
It will be shown Tuesday, April 14th, at Sandhills Community College's Dempsey Student Center, upstairs in the Clement Dining Room from 6:30-8:00 PM. The Film Series is held on a bi-monthly schedule, alternating with the Sustainable Sandhills Moore County Community Action Team Meetings. Each film will be aired from 6:30-8:00 PM at the same location, and the remaining 2009 revised schedule is as follows: June 18th, August 20th, October 22nd, and December 10th.
Bring the family! All ages are invited to attend and it’s FREE!!! We look forward to seeing you there!
