Living the Change: Inspiring Stories for a Sustainable Future
Sometimes it can feel like the environmental, economic and social issues the world is currently facing are too big, too overwhelming, to be dealt with by individuals. Climate change, resource limits, economic downturn, social disconnection. Surely these issues can only be properly managed by our governments? Living the Change explores solutions to the global crises we face today - solutions any one of us can be part of - through the inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and in their communities in order to live in a sustainable and regenerative way. Directors Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson have brought together stories from their travels around New Zealand, along with interviews with experts able to explain how we come to be where we are today. From forest gardens to composting toilets, community supported agriculture to timebanking, Living the Change offers ways we can rethink our approach to how we live. Each and every one of us has the power to create change. Living the Change sets out to inspire us to do just that. There are so many exciting and important ideas and initiatives out there, so much hope and inspiration. We want to generate discussion as widely and deeply as possible about how each of us views the future and our part in it.

Beyond the Breaker
A towering 11-story structure of steel and glass, the Huber Breaker, built in 1939 processed 7000 tons of Anthracite coal per day. With the decline of Anthracite and the end of the industrial age, the Huber Breaker closed in 1976 and was left to rot. As the Huber Breaker decayed, it began to take on a new persona, transforming from a symbol of industry into a place of exploration and reverence for an era long gone. It represented history, ancestry, and the importance of holding on to memories of an industry that both built and destroyed many lives. Beyond The Breaker explores the connections between people, place and the legacy of coal mining that still influences Pennsylvania's Anthracite region.
