Hello Friends,
We’d like to invite you to a screening of an inspiring new documentary film, Saving Walden’s World, on Monday, August 26 at 6PM at the Alamo Theatre in Bucksport. This film takes a fresh look at three societies that have championed women’s status in society for decades. Please bring your friends! And, if you are inspired, please follow us and share our posts!
More about the film:
When a young arms dealer discovers his work is harming families in less affluent societies, he has an ethical crisis and begins a decades-long journey to redeem himself and make the world a better place. SAVING WALDEN’S WORLD is a revealing new film following Jim Merkel as he raises Walden, a budding scientist, in an off-the-grid homestead and wonders: could the very people his past-life’s work targeted hold the keys to a sustainable planet?
A journey into “enemy” territory ensues, meeting powerful women who reshape society to work for all. Far from affluent utopias, Kerala, Cuba and Slovenia offer women free college, access to contraception, maternity leave, childcare, dentistry and healthcare. Services unimaginable in much of Jim’s blue-collar America.
As earth temperatures soar, the stakes couldn’t get higher.
