Thu, June 12 – “Wisdom to Survive” Documentary

The Wisdom to Survive: Climate Change, Capitalism & Community is this month’s Conscientious Projector presentation at Armory Center for the Arts.

Producer/directors John Ankele and Anne Macksoud bring clarity and compassion to their subject, enlisting counsel from leading figures such as Buddhist scholar and eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, 350.org founder Bill McKibben, Natural Resource Defense Council co-founder Gus Speth, and The End of Growth author Richard Heinberg, among others.

Tom F. Driver, Professor Emeritus of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary says

This is a starkly prophetic film. It combines the direst of warnings with deep love of life. Better than any other film I know, it makes clear that our profit-oriented growth economy has caused the climate catastrophe and cannot itself rescue us from disaster. We need new thinking and a new way of life.

A community discussion follows the film. Admission is free and the facility is accessible to disabled persons. For more information contact Marty Coleman at 626.792.4941 or visit http://olddogdocumentaries.org.
