Climate change is a sad fact. Peak oil is another. Add economic instability to the picture and we are faced with food insecurity, probably the single most important threat to our civilization. Voices of the Transition is a film about how to take on these challenges. Positively. The issue is not only mere survival, but rather the possibility of thriving and improving our quality of life. These “voices of the Transition” tell us of a future society where our deserts will once again be living soil, where fields will be introduced into our cities, and where independence from oil will help us to live a richer, more fulfilling life. Diversity, downscaling, trees and community are emerging as the keywords for this change.
