SAWA is extremely excited to be participating in the upcoming Projecting Change: Vancouver Green Film Festival happening at The Ridge Theatre May 8-11th.
The four day film festival will showcase at least 20 inspiring and provocative films on sustainable living and will bring together local community leaders, environmentalists, engaging speakers, and film lovers to discuss key issues highlighted by the films. The profits from this event will be invested back into local initiatives, SAWA Global gratefully being one of them.
Because of SAWA’s focus on showcasing sustainable solutions to global problems, including environmental issues, SAWA has been asked to be a speaker at the festival on Saturday May 10th following the film Taking Root. This film tells the story of Kenyan Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Maathai, who became an inspiring leader of an environmental movement that began with the simple act of planting trees. Her vision of protecting the environment, her people’s human rights, and her country’s democracy became infectious and this film shows how this charismatic woman helped eventually bring down
Her story reveals what SAWA showcases every day – that small changes, small acts of defiant hope can have great impacts – that sometimes all it takes is a vision, and the will to install it. This will be an educational and engaging event promoting an awareness of environmental problems and sustainable solutions. See you all there!
