The Power of Community: Film Screening

Wednesday 2 July, 7-9pm (film to begin at 7.30pm)

Portal Cafe, 23 Fore Hill, Ely

Entry is free, and refreshments will be available from the cafe.


The Power of Community tells of the hardships faced by the Cuban people after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 and the cutting of oil and food imports to Cuba - and also of the creative and positive solutions that the people found in this time of difficulty. It shows how the Cubans made a transition to a society less dependent on oil, using organic, sustainable and locally-based systems of farming, gardens, and urban design.

This will be an opportunity for Ely residents to meet and discuss
positive, local solutions to the global problems of Peak Oil, and also the concept of Transition Towns.
