ARISE

A week after Earth Day, 2014, join us for a major screening of the
2012 documentary Arise, described by Huffington Post as
"transformative," and by the New York Times as a "genuinely felt letter to the world." 
Transition Albany and Transition Berkeley are screening Arise
for one night only on Tuesday, April 29th, 7 pm, at the Albany
Twin Theater, 1115 Solano Avenue, Albany (on the 18 & 72 bus
routes), as a benefit for our local heroes, Planting Justice. Check
out their website: http://www.plantingjustice.org/
Tickets can be purchased from the Albany Twin Theater box office
(and online) for $10 ($8 for seniors and students) after April
15th.
Narrated by Daryl Hannah, Arise captures the portraits
and stories of extraordinary women around the world who are
coming together to heal the injustices against the earth.
The
film does a great job of covering food justice issues round the
world and weaves together poetry, music, art and stunning
scenery to create a hopeful and collective story that inspires
us to work for the earth.
Written, directed and produced by Lori Joyce with Candace
Orlando, Arise has won numerous film awards, and
Executive Producer Molly Stone will be present at our screening
to answer questions after the film.
Please come, bring friends, and get inspired by the film's vital
message about the power of women (and all Earth's citizens) to
lead far-reaching environmental change.
