Over the last two and a half years, Owen Sound poet/filmmaker Liz Zetlin and scientist Dr. John Anderson teamed up to produce the documentary Resilience: Transforming Our Community, a different kind of climate change film - a catalyst for community-based conversations and actions to make positive difference locally and beyond.

This film premiered in Owen Sound on May 8th, 2019 to a standing-room-only audience at the Roxy Theatre.

With that in mind, the film will screen at Peninsula Shores Disctrict School (PSDS) on Tuesday, June 11th at 7:00 pm, doors open at 6:30 pm. This event is free and everyone is welcome. The producers also encourage people to host a home, school or community screening and talk about the issues with their friends. We all have something to contribute.

Climate change has been described as the greatest threat facing society, yet people remain largely uninformed or simply overwhelmed by this threat, not only to us but to many generations to come. As green tech entrepreneur/author Tom Rand says in the film, “We could very well see modern civilization brought to its knees in our lifetime.”

Dr. Anderson’s public talk, “Our Changing World: The Three Questions,” forms the backbone of the film. He addresses each question: “What is the problem? How will it affect me? What can we do about it?” Indigenous elders and fishermen, farmers, young people, scientists, musicians and concerned residents describe their fears, hopes and actions. The film offers ways to build resilience in ourselves and our community by transforming the way we live. As author Margaret Atwood says, “It’s not climate change – it’s everything change.”
