Spiritual Movie Night Event “TOMORROW” Friday, Nov. 17th, 7:00 pm

Hosted by Rev. Lani for a Love Donation

“Over the course of a century, our dream of progress com-

monly called "the American Dream", fundamentally changed

the way we live and continues to inspire many developing

countries. We are now aware of the setbacks and limits of

such development policies. We urgently need to focus our

efforts on changing our dreams before something irreversible

happens to our planet.

The documentary TOMORROW sets out to showcase alter-

native and creative ways of viewing agriculture, economics,

energy and education. It offers constructive solutions to act

on a local level to make a difference on a global level. TO-

MORROW is not just a film, it is the beginning of a move-

ment seeking to encourage local communities around the

world to change the way they live for the sake of our planet.”
