Once upon a time, the Philippines was a very different place. A place where the inhabitants once had a special relationship with their natural environment. But this changed as western dominance over the Philippine islands brought about a new ideology, one that people living within their natural environment are poor and that they should exploit their natural wealth. Filipinos have the uncanny gift to be able to accept and integrate new ideologies into their culture; to be able to dance to whatever music is playing. This time around, Filipinos are dancing to a new tune – one which had been played in the distant past – that is the tune of environmentalism. This documentary outlines the difficulties Filipinos currently endure with regards to their environment and the solutions brought forward by individuals, groups and organizations. View the premiere screening of this documentary on Thursday 26 June, 6pm @ Lentils as Anything (Abbotsford Convent). Cost $10. Proceeds from the screening will help build libraries & education institutions in the communities visited in the Philippines. ----------------------------------------- *** There will be live music (jamming) at 6pm... film screening starts at 7pm*** *** Open jam after film, so bring some instruments!!!*** ***Food & drinks available at Lentils As Anthing***
