Film screening and discussion: Endgame -A talk by Derrick Jensen

Friday 15th August, 7pm (1 hour film followed by discussion)

"We are members of the most destructive culture ever to exist. Our assault on the natural world, on indigenous and other cultures, on women, on children, on all of us through the possibility of nuclear suicide and other means--all these are unprecedented in their magnitude and ferocity."

Why do we act as we do?

What are sane and effective responses to outrageously destructive behavior?

What will it take for us to stop the horrors that characterize our way of being?

In this film of a 1 hour lecture, Jensen examines the premises of his controversial book, Endgame, offering both a perfect introduction for newcomers and additional insight for those already familiar with his work. Whether exposing the ravages of industrial civilization, relaying humorous anecdotes from his life, or bravely presenting a few of the endless forms that resistance can (and must) take, Jensen leaves his audience both engaged and enraged.
