Afternoon workshop and evening screening – Thursday 18th May
The film’s about a group of communities standing together in solidarity in a fight against the “Goliath” of an gas extraction company where, against all the odds, they won with the strength they built together. And so there’s two things about the film which I think might be of interest.
1. Its crowd sourced and the crew touring with the film are the director, a town mayor and one of the key activists so there’ll be discussions with positive messages after the film.
2. They’ve offered to run a workshop in the afternoon before the film which are being tagged as “potential community responses” but I think essentially they’ll be about forms of action.
And so you can find details re The Bentley Effect below but you can see the Bentley Effect trailer via:
