DescriptionOccupy Love | Admission: FREE | Doors: 6:30 pm, Film:7 pm, Discussion:8:45 pm This free screening (donations accepted) will explore the growing realization that the dominant system of power is failing to provide health, happiness or meaning to the community. The old paradigm that concentrates wealth, and is founded on the greed of the few, is causing economic and ecological collapse. The resulting crisis has become the catalyst for a profound awakening: millions of people are deciding that the time has come to create a new world, a world that works for all life. This film connects the dots in an era of rapidly evolving social change, and features captivating insider scenes from the Egyptian Revolution, the Indignado uprising in Spain, Occupy Wall Street in New York, Indigenous activists at the Alberta Tar Sands, the climate justice movement, and beyond. Woven throughout the action-oriented backbone of the film is a deep exploration of public love and compelling stories of an emerging new paradigm. It features some of the world’s key visionaries on alternative systems of economics, sustainability, and empathy, including Naomi Klein, Bill McKibben, Jeremy Rifkin, bell hooks and Charles Eisenstein. Occupy Love is a moving, transformative, heartfelt film featuring Ripper’s signature stunning visuals and rich soundscapes. A powerful cinematic experience that will leave audiences inspired.
