This month's movie: I AM is an utterly engaging and entertaining non-fiction film that poses two practical and provocative questions: what’s wrong with our world, and what can we do to make it better? The filmmaker behind the inquiry is Tom Shadyac, one of Hollywood’s leading comedy practitioners and the creative force behind such blockbusters as “Ace Ventura,” “Liar Liar,” “The Nutty Professor,” and “Bruce Almighty.” However, in I AM, Shadyac steps in front of the camera to recount what happened to him after a cycling accident left him incapacitated, possibly for good. Though he ultimately recovered, he emerged with a new sense of purpose, determined to share his own awakening to his prior life of excess and greed, and to investigate how he as an individual, and we as a race, could improve the way we live and walk in the world.

So Sorry to have missed it! I've penciled in the June date!
Comment by Jana Ronne on April 16, 2012 at 8:55pm I agree - the seed exchange was really neat and we got to meet lots of new people who really liked the idea and were really happy to join in and contribute next year:)
Awesome turn out for the Plant and Seed exchange! Many people did not know about Village, and we directed them here... a couple on bikes dropped by from Pitt Meadows, lots of neighbourhood Mamas, and Rico from the racetrack who says ask for him for raw horse manure at the track... might be good for making a rapid hot compost pile... works very well for the garden if you have extra energy! I have booked Kiwassa Saturday June 2nd 9am - 12... for gathering, exchange and workshopping... save the date, eh

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
