An excellent short fiilm honouring four elders of our community and providing a context to the work that we are doing. Introduced by Rob Hopkins and made by Susana Martinez (Director) and Emilio Mula. It emerged from the ora histories we did in preparing the Totnes Energy Descent Action Plan and we revsited some of those interviews in more depth. Susana, from Spain, was in Totnes for just one year. I hope you agree she left a file legacy with this film.

For the second year running we took over the Civic Hall and turn it into a living, breathing, thriving Transition community, just for one day.   This short film gives a little flavour of what it was about and how it went.

How did Totnes feed, heat and transport itself before the age of globalisation and cheap energy? 
What did a local food system look like to those who depended on it? 
Two generations have passed with no first-hand knowledge of living with much less energy than we expect today.
