Outdoor Movie Night in Guildford: The Reluctant Radical
Spring ReserveHelena StGuildford,Transition Town Guildford is hosting an outdoor movie night with a screening of The Reluctant Radical.
If a crime is committed in order to prevent a greater crime, is it forgivable? Is it, in fact, necessary?
THE RELUCTANT RADICAL follows activist Ken Ward as he confronts his fears and puts himself in the direct path of the fossil fuel industry to combat climate change. Ken breaks the law as a last resort, to fulfill what he sees as his personal obligation to future generations. After twenty years leading environmental organizations, Ken became increasingly alarmed by both the scientific evidence of climate change and the repercussions for civilization as we know it. Ken pushed for a crisis level response from inside environmental organizations. Those efforts failed, and he now embraces direct action civil disobedience as the most effective political tool to deal with catastrophic circumstances.Join us from 7pm on for a picnic dinner.
Movie starts at 8pm.
Please bring something to sit on (rug, chair or bean bag).
