I am requesting the movie: You Gotta Believe (not booked yet) for September 20
Saving Walden’s World
Documentary – 1 hour 29 minutes
September 28 at 12 noon
On September 28 the Peterborough Unitarian Universalist Church is sponsoring a one-time screening at the Peterborough Community Theatre for a very special screening of Saving Walden’s World (https://savingwaldensworld.org/).
Saving Walden’s World follows Jim Merkel as he sets off to three earth-efficient societies; Cuba, Slovenia and Kerala, India, searching for clues to save the world his son Walden will inherit. Along the way he encounters a force that could recover planetary balance – powerful women!
The film is an intimate journey to the leading edge of a massive planetary shift – where women have smaller families and over-consumers reduce ecological footprints. As population pressures ease due to rising female status and education, dozens of nations attempt to coerce more births, fearing fewer taxpayers, consumers and followers – and free women.
This event is free and open to the public
