As corporate media
fails to provide accurate news of the world's dire environmental
predicament, the Earth sends a clear message in the form of
record-breaking natural disasters, famine and epidemics.
People are mobilizing for what lies ahead.
In May 2007, the 8th International Permaculture
Convergence (IPC8) was held in Brazil, bringing together visionary
activists from 43 countries in the common goal of preparing for, and
mitigating, our looming global crisis. Their strategy: Self-reliance and
sustainability through permaculture.
This timely documentary offers practical steps on
how to 'permaculturize' our lives. It invites viewers into a
permaculture community that spans the globe. Most importantly, it gives
the critical inspiration needed to turn our backs on that which is
failing us, and to create a sustainable future of our own making.
