Eating For Tomorrow
Eating For Tomorrow is a powerful and brilliantly produced documentary that exposes the devastating environmental impact of our current food systems. With the planet teetering toward ecological collapse, the film calls for a global dietary shift and illuminates the path to a sustainable future for us all.
Eating For Tomorrow is a longer and more uplifting version of the original hit film Eating Our Way To Extinction. Since its debut, it has ignited conversations worldwide and garnered high praise from film critics, media outlets, environmental organizations, and viewers alike. Eating For Tomorrow is narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Kate Winslet and features many renowned contributors, including Sir Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, and leading oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle.
Through poignant messages from indigenous peoples and compelling evidence from top scientists, Eating For Tomorrow confronts a stark reality. This powerful message not only underscores the urgency of our situation but also instills hope that our daily food choices can truly change the course of history. This film is a must-see and must-share for anyone who cares about the fate of humanity and our planet!

February Film Showing
Citizen George
February 20, 2025 6:30PM
Citizen George
CITIZEN GEORGE presents the life and work of Philadelphia-based Quaker activist George Lakey, a non-violent revolutionary who has worked his entire life for justice and peace, guided by his ideal of societal transformation. The film moves back and forth in time, highlighting specific events of George’s activist life—including fighting for civil rights, anti-Vietnam War activism, LGBTQ rights, human rights in Sri Lanka and climate justice. In addition to detailing his life as an activist, CITIZEN GEORGE tells George’s personal journey as a husband, father and out gay man. Animated sequences, inspired by graphic novels, illustrate scenes from George’s life. His story provides life-giving lessons to those struggling to make sense of the current troubling political climate, illuminate a path forward, and inspire those willing to work for change to face today’s moment.
CITIZEN GEORGE builds a life, layer by layer. It is a portrait of a rebel with a mission and an uncanny skill for serving up whatever the situation needs—fire or water, heat or cold—by asking himself, “Where can I make a contribution? Where am I led?”
