Kamloops chapter screens ‘This Changes Everything’

Kamloops

The Council of Canadians Kamloops chapter screened ‘This Changes Everything’ on Jan. 27 to an audience of about 150 people.

Along with the film presentation there was also a panel discussion featuring Art Manuel (former Chief of the Neskonlith Band and spokesperson for the Indigenous Network on Economies and Trade), Nancy Flood (a senior lecturer at Thompson Rivers University), and Randy Sunderman (who has worked extensively with rural and First Nation communities on issues of economic and business development).

 

To date, more than 3,940 people have gone to chapter-organized screenings of the film across the country.

We have shown the film in Montreal, Saskatoon, Duncan, Elora, Charlottetown, Yellowknife, Prince Albert, Chilliwack, Ladner,Mabou, Windsor, Courtenay, Saint John, St. John’s, Sudbury, Golden, Terrace, Regina, Fredericton, Powell River, Thunder Bay, Hinton, Picton, London, Kent County and now Kamloops.

Our Peterborough chapter is sponsoring a screening of the film at the ReFrame International Film Festival on Jan. 31.

As noted on the film’s website, “The film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Naomi Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.”
