Our Film

The Setting

Over the past several generations, humanity has witnessed startling changes on this unique and beautiful planet. Never before have so many people lived with such a high level of comfort and affluence. But those gains come at a very high cost. New words have entered our vocabulary such as climate change, peak oil, mass extinction and the Great Recession.  A growing number of people sense we are on the verge of personal and societal challenges like none before.

The converging trends of our time are calling upon us to summon the courage and wisdom to redefine how we live our lives and for what reasons.  A compelling new goal for humanity is called for –  fitting gracefully into the broader web of life on Planet Earth.

Our Film

Closer to Home is intended to be a valuable contribution to this Great Transition. The producers of Closer to Home are deeply grateful to the movies that have done so well to explain climate change, peak oil, environmental decline and economic make-believe. Closer to Home will pick up where those films leave off – what to do in response.  C2H  will be practical, positive and accessible and is intended to empower millions of people. We see positive human potential as one of our greatest renewable resources.

Viewers will  meet several pioneers of “eco-logical culture change” to see their creative and timely projects and to find out what they are learning. C2H’s narration will weave together the stories we are told and how they fit into the larger fabric of global trends, culture, economics and exciting new possibilities.  If we take the time, we will discover much of what can assist us to create a far more peaceful and healthy world, already exists.
