Teignmouth Film Society and the Teign Estuary Transition group are collaborating for a screening of the documentary The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil.
The film shows how Cuba dealt with its own fossil fuel crisis when the oil on which the economy depended failed to arrive from the Soviet Union, and charts the evolution of the country from a highly mechanised industrial agricultural system to one of organic farms and urban gardens.
After the film there will be an informal discussion to explore opportunities to increase use of local food supplies.
The film will be screened in the Carlton Theatre, Teignmouth on Monday 18th January; doors open from 7 for 8pm. Entry is free; donations welcome. Bar and refreshments available.
