"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." — R. Buckminster Fuller

As the late economist Kenneth Boulding said, “If it exists, it must be possible.”

A discussion with filmmakers and others associated with the films follows each screening. Community organizations will share opportunities for advancing positive solutions before the screening.
