The September movie night will be a special night on food and Kitchen Gardeners – The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil – It’s an oldie, but a goodie, a must see if you haven’t seen it!

“The documentary, “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil,” was inspired when Faith Morgan and Pat Murphy took a trip to Cuba in 2003. When they learned that Cuba underwent the loss of over half of its oil imports and survived, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990, the couple wanted to see for themselves how Cuba had done this. During their first trip to Cuba, in the summer of 2003, they traveled from Havana to Trinidad and through several other towns on their way back to Havana. They found what Cubans call “The Special Period” astounding and Cuban’s responses very moving.” IMDB rating 7.6/10

The August movie will be the much-anticipated sequel to Gasland. Hydraulic Fracturing is taking off in WA so this is another timely movie.

“A documentary that declares the gas industry’s portrayal of natural gas as a clean and safe alternative to oil is a myth, and that fracked wells inevitably leak over time, contaminating water and air, hurting families, and endangering the earth’s climate with the potent greenhouse gas methane.” 7.7/10 IMDB rating.

As usual, the second Tuesday of the month – Tuesday 12th August

Bringing it Home: a multi-award winning and very interesting documentary about hemp. True!

If you enjoy watching Grand Designs and are interested in sustainable building materials and learning about old/new ways to address a raft of current global issues, this movie is for you.

It’s informative: by the end of the movie, you’ll be very clear about the difference between hemp and recreational herbs!
