"Dancing with the Cannibal Giant: 5 Stories of the New Transition" will be shown on Friday, January 3, 7 pm, at the Springfield UU Meetinghouse. (Rescheduled from December.) Executive Producer of the film, Chris Wood of BALE (Building a Local Economy) in South Royalton, who will join us for a discussion after the film.

"When today's stories of crushing greed and endless growth have come to an end, what, then, will be the new stories?"

This documentary portrays "five remarkable stories of people and places transforming the world." Narrated by Penobscot elder, Sherri Mitchell (Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset), "we are introduced to the Penobscot mythology of the cannibal giant: a creature awakened by the destruction of mother earth. The film is told through the lens of this powerful prophecy: only if people can awaken to their own destruction, and the need for change, will the cannibal giant be put back to sleep." The film includes groups from Vermont and upstate New York among the New Stories for the Great Transition.
Free admission and popcorn. We've rescheduled this film from Dec. 6th. All welcome!
