Canberra Screening,
Saturday 22nd January 2010, 12:00 pm
- Worried about the growing world debt?
- Do you even know how money is created?
- Does the idea of starving people, when we have plenty of resources to help them, bother you?
- Did you know that almost every problem in families, the community and the nation revolves around money?
- The current global approach of 'borrow-more-money-to-reduce-the-debt' simply does not work, so why do they (governments) keep doing it?
- Are you aware that cyclical consumption and planned obsolescence negates almost all your 'green' efforts?
- Is this the future you want to retire in and to pass on to the next generation?
- I am sure you realise that if we do nothing differently, things won't change...and only get worse.
- There is a workable solution. Although radical and visionary in scope, it is grounded in science and gaining interest on a global level...the new Resource Based Economy.
As part of the rapidly growing planet wide grass roots not-for-profit movement for social and systemic change, join us in the nation's capital for the global launch of the third eye opening and thought provoking, and much anticipated, film from Peter Joseph's Zeitgeist documentary series - Zeitgeist: Moving Forward. The film will be followed by discussion.
Learn how we can go beyond the current failing approach of 'borrow-more-money-to-reduce-the-debt' mentality and develop the truly sane and sustainable model for our future survival.
Film Synopsis.
Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is a feature length documentary work which presents a case for the need to transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society.
Broken into 4 chapters - Human Nature, Social Pathology, Project Earth, and Rise - the film's subject matter transcends the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology, and moves to relate the core, empirical "life ground" attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy".
The Zeitgeist Moving Forward premier is not associated with any major distributor and is being simultaneously released in over 60 countries and over 20 languages!
With one screening only in nation's capital, Canberra, learn more about this decentralised global movement to replace the corrupt, greed breeding and inherently non-sustainable monetary system with a more humane and mature Resource Based Economy.
As part of the vision of 94 year old Jacque Fresco, discover how we not only need to do this but MUST get away from the monetary system, otherwise the current financial drams of the world will be a desirable state of affairs compared to where we are headed if we keep on with this failing model.
