Movie synopsis

The film follows seven interwoven stories of organizations moving towards a more co-operative,
revolutionary, people-friendly future.

A co-operative brewery started by a group of beer-drinking friends in London, ON; a laser physicist
developing open-source heart-saving technology in Montreal, QB; and a social enterprising farmer in Vancouver, BC, all demonstrate how businesses can blend economic and social needs of a
functioning new economy, with co-operative values and principles at its base.

A little bit about our sponsor: Transition Kamloops is a group focused on increasing local resilience and self-sufficiency in food, water, energy, culture and wellness. It emphasizes a local economy, healthy ecosystems and grassroots community building, while reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The group believes in a better way: a community that sustains life in all its diversity, strives for equality and justice and invests in the future.
