''Tomorrow' - let's make sure there is one!

This evening we went to see a local screening of the film 'Demain', or 'Tomorrow' in the Victory Hall at Benderloch, hosted by Mairi Stones. There were a few dozen folks crammed into the small room sitting in a variety of chairs and settees.

The film shows how many people in several countries are trying to provide solutions to the crisis of climate change and other world problems. Probably best if I quote someone else's report - 

"After a special briefing for the journal Nature announced the possible extinction of a part of mankind before the end of the 21st century, Cyril Dion and Mélanie Laurent, together with a team of four people, carried out an investigation in ten different countries to figure out what may lead to this disaster and above all how to avoid it.

During their journey, they met the pioneers who are re-inventing agriculture, energy, economy, democracy and education. Joining those concrete and positive actions which are already working, they began to figure out what could be tomorrow's world…"

A very interesting film giving the audience a great deal of food for thought, though I have to say I didn't understand a lot of it. A good social evening too. Sorry about the poor quality of the picture - I was using my tiny Canon compact without flash.
