Film Screening: The Economics of Happiness

Please join us on Monday, August 8, for a screening of 'The Economics of Happiness', a new documentary film by the International Society for Ecology & Culture (ISEC) about the worldwide movement for economic localization.  Both hard-hitting and inspiring, 'The Economics of Happiness' demonstrates that millions of people across the world are already engaged in building a better world - that small scale initiatives are happening on a large scale.  The film shows that countless initiatives are united around a common cause: rebuilding more democratic, human scale, ecological and local economies - the foundation of an 'economics of happiness'.  The film features a chorus of voices calling for systemic economic change, including Vandana Shiva, David Korten, Michael Shuman, Richard Heinberg, Rob Hopkins, Juliet Schor, Zac Goldsmith, Bill McKibben, and Samdhong Rinphoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet's goverment in exhile.  The film screening will be accompanied by the rootsy folk music of Becky White.
