The Wisdom to Survive: Climate Change, Capitalism & Community is a new documentary out looking at the crucial challenges we face to deal with climate change and the destruction of our planet.
Climate change is here. Will we have the wisdom to survive? The film features thought leaders and activists in the realms of science, economics and spirituality discussing how we can evolve and take action in the face of climate disruption.
“A brilliant, achingly poignant film. Please see the film—bring it to your community, talk about it, share it with others. It is one of the most artfully-rendered films on the planet’s crisis (and how we move through it) I have ever seen. Extraordinarily moving.“—Shyla Nelson, Founder, One Earth One Voice Campaign.
The Wisdom to Survive makes its Florida premiere in Gainesville, FL, at Cinema Verde on February 14, at 4:55 pm. Tickets are $12, $10 for seniors, students, and children. Screenings take place at The Depot Station, 201 SE Depot Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32601. For more info or to purchase tickets in advance visit www.cinemaverde.org/film-screenings.
The 56-minute film accepts the consensus of scientists that climate change has already arrived, and asks—what is keeping us from action? In discussions with thought leaders and activists, The Wisdom to Survive explores how unlimited growth lies behind climate disruption, and is devastating our planet’s life support system, our social fabric, and the lives of billions of people. The film features Bill McKibben (350.org), author Joanna Macy, whale scientist Roger Payne, Herschelle Milford (Surplus People Project), Quincy Saul (Ecosocialist Horizons), Nikki Cooley of the Navajo Nation and more. They provide insights, answers, and hope. What becomes clear is, we already have the tools we need to change our economy and lifestyle. Our attention must focus on taking action and building community.
