The film "Deep Green" will have its premiere Eugene showing this coming Sunday evening, Jan. 30, at 7:30 at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 477 E. 40th Ave. This film focuses on solutions to our climate crisis with beautiful cinematography of applications throughout the world of sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, energy efficiency, green building, and forest restoration. The event is free (donations will be accepted).
After the film there will be a Q&A with the filmmaker, Matt Briggs, followed by a facilitated discussion of things we can do in our homes, neighborhoods, and city to create a more resilient community.
For information about the film, including a short trailer, go to: http://deepgreenmovie.com/ You don't really get it from the trailer, but much of the film is about possible ways to combat climate change rather than just scaring people about the enormity of the problem.
Here is an excerpt from a review in the Oregonian:
"There are a lot of global-warming/climate-change documentaries out there, the biggest of course being An Inconvenient Truth -- and until now all have presented the same ratio of doomsday scenarios vs. planet-saving-solutions: about nine to one. A necessary message, but an awfully depressing one at times. Deep Green flips this ratio, offering hope instead of despair. Matthew Briggs' assured, informative and aesthetically pleasing debut documentary goes all over the world to show the ingenious solutions being devised right now to get humanity off fossil-fuel consumption and reduce civilization's carbon footprint."
