TRANSFORMATIVE CINEMA: Documentaries That Change Who You Are
March 8, 7:00pm - 8:30pmMānoa Campus, Art Auditorium
Non-fiction films that educate and entertain, inspire, inform and motivate, have long been heralded as the vanguard in the convergence of entertainment and social activism. It’s always been hoped that certain kinds of films would inspire people to DO SOMETHING about some important things. The craft is now advancing to the next step in planetary activism: DON’T JUST DO SOMETHING, BECOME SOMEONE DIFFERENT. The idea being that taking an action may not be enough to save the planet. Now we need to connect with our fundamental natures (and our fundamental dysfunctions) in order to create a new perspective on everything we do, all of the time. It’s not what you do that’s important anymore, it’s who you are.
