Fixing the Future Across America

EVENT: Wednesday, July 18 from 7:30–10:00pm

An unprecedented opportunity to be a part of a national effort to support local economic initiatives.

This documentary, showcasing working models for thriving economies, will screen in at least 50 theaters in cities across the U.S. Due to a wildly successful PBS version, the filmmakers have made a new, feature length version of the documentary that you can be among the first to see. Transition US is calling it an "online event."

In *Fixing the Future*, host David Brancaccio (of NOW on PBS) visits people and organizations across America that are attempting a revolution: the reinvention of the American economy. By featuring communities using sustainable and innovative approaches to create jobs and build prosperity, *Fixing the Future* inspires hope and renewal in a people overwhelmed by economic collapse.

The film highlights effective, local practices such as: local business alliances, community banking, time banking/hour exchange, worker cooperatives and local currencies. Following the documentary, audiences will enjoy a pre-taped discussion panel featuring luminaries Bill McKibben, Majora Carter, Mike Brady and David Brancaccio.
