“How to Change the World – the beginnings of Greenpeace”

Wednesday 20th January, 7.30 at Lamlash Fire Station. Free viewing, donations welcome.

How to Change the World is the dramatic story of the beginnings of Greenpeace, chronicling the adventures of an eclectic group of young pioneers – Canadian hippie journalists, photographers, musicians, scientists, and American draft dodgers – who set out to stop Richard Nixon’s atomic bomb tests in Amchitka, Alaska, and end up creating the worldwide green movement.

How To Change The World is an intimate portrait of the group’s original members and of activism itself—idealism vs. pragmatism, principle vs. compromise. They agreed that a handful of people could change the world; they just couldn’t always agree on how to do it.

Everyone is welcome to come along to see this entertaining and inspiring film.
