onthejourney Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Free Thought Film Series GO FURTHER When? Friday, March 25th What time? 7:30 pm Where? Sky Dragon Centre 24 King St. East, downtown Hamilton, across from the Gore Park Fountain, blue cloud-covered door Calling his new movie an “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test on Tofu”, award-winning documentary director Ron Mann (Grass, Twist) joins actor/activist Woody Harrelson as he pilots a hemp-fuelled bus on an eco-consciousness raising incursion down the beautiful Pacific Coast. “Go Further” explores the idea that the single in dividual is the key to large-scale transformational change. The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus-ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally-destructive behaviors. The travellers include a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a junk-food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to impulsively hop aboard. We see the hostility these pilgrims encounter, and watch as their ideas are challenged from within and without. We meet an entrepreneur who runs a paper company that does not harm trees; an organic farmer who believes Nature is his partner; a man who teaches environmental activists to use humor as a strategic weapon. And throughout, we see Harrelson test his belief that the transformation of our planet begins with the small personal transformations that are within the grasp of each and every one of us, after which… we’ll go further. 7:30 pm, $5 admission Information: call (905)-777-8102 or email: kevin@skydragon.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Has anyone here seen this? I keep thinking of renting it but have heard good and bad reviews. I will see it at some point, but was hoping for some heady insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 It's not bad, but some of it is pretty flighty and wishy washy for my taste. Someone more hardcore than me said he was doing a disservice to practically-minded, science-oriented environmentalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 btw - what did ya'll think of "the end of suburbia"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 enjoyed it for the most part... definately makes you raise your eyebrows... I thought the most interesting discussion was about the oil "bell curve" and how even if we're not out of oil our way of life will be radically altered... soon western civilization is screwed :: its cool seeing films at this place as the audience stays afterwards and discusses the film and potential actions that can be taken, etc... its a pretty cool setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 It's not bad, but some of it is pretty flighty and wishy washy for my taste. That would be my assessment as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthejourney Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 i really enjoyed seeing 'end of suburbia' if it is possible to enjoy seeing western civilizations demise ...hehe. I think I will definitely be going to more of these Sky Dragon events and it would be nice to become involved in their center when it is up and running; maybe doing some of my 'wellness' work there. Paisley---it is next week, not this week (just makin sure ya know) hopefully this time we both don't almost forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
