Closer to home: voices of hope in a time of crisis
(Films For Action) Closer to home: voices of hope in a time of crisis. This 35-minute film features thinkers, writers and activists from every continent, arguing for the need to bring our economies back home. A united call for a new economy, delivered by those who have committed their lives to working for systemic change.
Closer to home
We live in a time of multiple crises, from climate chaos, poverty, and war to skyrocketing costs of living. It can seem overwhelming – until we realise that we have the power to change things. ‘Closer to Home’ brings together an extraordinary array of thinkers, writers, and activists from every continent to make a simple but revolutionary argument: by reducing the scale of the economy, we can not only stop the rush towards social and ecological breakdown, but restore damaged ecosystems and increase our own personal well-being.
It’s a message of hope that the world cannot afford to ignore.
