Thanks to Maura Conlon-McIvor for sending in this link to what looks like a fascinating documentary which may interest many of you, called Fixing the Future. It will be screening on July 18th and 19th in cities across the country (an interesting model for the release of a documentary!)
Here's a little blurb for you:
"In Fixing the Future, host David Brancaccio, of public radio’s Marketplace and NOW on PBS, visits people and organizations across America that are attempting a revolution: the reinvention of the American economy. By featuring communities using sustainable and innovative approaches to create jobs and build prosperity, Fixing the Future inspires hope and renewal in a people overwhelmed by economic collapse.
The film highlights effective, local practices such as: local business alliances, community banking, time banking/hour exchange, worker cooperatives and local currencies."
I hope you'll check out Fixing the Future if you can, and then leave a comment here on the CLIC, and let us know whether you see the Caring Economics perspective present in the film, or whether the CE mind-shift would add something important to the focus of the film?
