4th Tuesday Films presents:
Back to the Garden
In
1988, filmmaker Kevin Tomlinson filmed and interviewed a group of
back-to-the-land "hippies" -- living off-grid, insulated and isolated from
mainstream culture.
In 2006, he tracked down his subjects again to find out what had become of their families' utopian plans and dreams.
The film captures a time-lapse view of these back-to-the-landers told
with moving personal stories of non-conforming tribal families -- with lots
of freedom but little cash, of unflinching political activism in the
midst of small-town, rural America, and hippie kids who today ask
whether free love was really free.
Tuesday, August 31, 7:00pm
909 12 Street, Sacramento

COMING UP on Media Edge:
Episode 278
(September 4-6)
Segment 1: "Peak Moment"
(28 minutes)
Jan Spencer didn't stop with a permaculture makeover of his suburban home in Eugene, Oregon. Now he's taking on the neighborhood! As a result, his neighborhood association is teaming up with city programs like Neighborhood Watch and Emergency Response to empower neighbors to work together. They're transforming lawns and abandoned lots into edible gardens, and sharing knowledge about energy efficiency, permaculture, and preparedness. These grass roots endeavors help people feel more secure in their homes, because they're connected with neighbors they can rely on.
Segment 2: "33 Days"
(71 minutes)
This film follows the stories of four people during the 2006 war in Lebanon: A theatre director working with children, an emergency relief worker, a journalist for an underground TV station, and a mother trying to cope with her new-born baby.
Segment 3: "Omar Is My Friend"
(15 minutes)
A student at Baghdad University works as a taxi driver to support his wife and four daughters. As he negotiates his clapped out taxi around checkpoints, tanks and traffic jams, he talks about work, lack of petrol, electricity, having daughters in a male-dominated society, his personal aspirations and those of his society.
