    <title>the power of community</title>
    <link>http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/node/1035</link>
    <description>&lt;h1&gt;The Power of Community: how Cuba survived peak oil&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990 Cuba&#039;s economy went into a tailspin. With imports of crude oil cut by more than half -and food by 80 percent-people were desparate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people.&lt;/p&gt;
