First Friday Films will be featuring its first film of the year and you don’t want to miss it. The Economics of Happiness, a film by Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick, and John Page, will be shown today, Jan. 6, 2012, 6:30pm at the American Memorial Parks Visitors Center.
Economic globalization has led to a massive expansion in the scale and power of business and banking. The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On one hand, the alliance between governments and big business continues to promote globalization and consolidation of corporate power. And on the other, people all over the world are resisting those policies. Communities are coming together to re-build more human-scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm-the economics of localization.
First Friday Films is a monthly film series brought to you in partnership with the National Park Service and the Division of Environmental Quality, with support from community groups and organizations
For planning purposes, the movie runs about 65 minutes long. As always, First Friday Films is free and open to the public.
