SUMMARY:Film Series: Symbiotic Earth
DESCRIPTION:The First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward. \nFirst Fridays at 7:00 pm\, April through August at Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax. \nApril 5th\nSymbiotic Earth\n \nSymbiotic Earth explores the life and ideas of scientific rebel Lynn Margulis who challenged entrenched theories of male-dominated science. As a young scientist in the 1960s\, Margulis was ridiculed when she first proposed that symbiosis – when organisms live and work together — was a key driver of evolution\, but she persisted. Through numerous collaborations\, she caused a seismic shift in our understanding of life. \nMargulis’ symbiotic narrative presents an alternative to the destructive worldview that has led to climate change and extreme capitalism. With James Lovelock\, she developed the Gaia Theory that all life is interconnected and interdependent. Her vision offers bold insights into health\, society\, and nature\, and inspires creative approaches to our pressing environmental and social crises. \n

SUMMARY:First Friday Film Series: Inhabit A Permaculture Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 6th at 7:00 pm\, LandCare presents the film Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective. \nInhabit is a feature-length documentary introducing permaculture: a design method that offers an ecological lens for solving issues related to agriculture\, economics\, governance\, and on.

For everyone\, it will be a reminder that humans are capable of being planetary healing forces. \nThe First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward.  Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax.

SUMMARY:First Friday Film Series: A Small Good Thing
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 6th at 7:00 pm\, LandCare presents the film A Small Good Thing. \nWe’ve sought ease\, comfort and wealth – but are people happier with more money? What is the science behind a good life? Following several people over a typical year\, A Small Good Thing looks at the simple sources of human happiness. \nWhat makes up a happy life? For the longest time\, we’ve been living as though the more we have the happier we’ll be. Surprisingly\, over the last fifty years\, our standard of living has improved\, but our happiness has not. A Small Good Thing follows three main stories – Jen and Pete\, an idealistic\, young couple who have just purchased land to farm\, Tim\, an Iraqi vet who uses yoga and cycling to keep addictions at bay\, and Shirley\, a community organizer who works with urban youth in a city overwhelmed by heroin addiction and blight. Over the course of a year\, the film follows them through the inevitable ups and downs of life. To gain insight into the lives of Jen\, Pete\, Tim and Shirley\, the film looks at the science behind our need to be in community and near nature – that it’s crucial to human well-being\, not some luxury to be reserved for vacations. \n \nThe First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward.  Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax.

SUMMARY:First Friday Film Series: Look & See
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 4th at 7:00 pm\, LandCare presents Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry. \n\n\nLOOK & SEE revolves around the divergent stories of several residents of Henry County\, Kentucky who each face difficult choices that will dramatically reshape their relationship with the land and their community. \nIn 1965\, Wendell Berry returned home to Henry County\, where he bought a small farmhouse and began a life of farming\, writing and teaching.  This lifelong relationship with the land and community would come to form the core of his prolific writings. A half-century later Henry County\, like many rural communities across America\, has become a place of quiet ideological struggle. In the span of a generation\, the agrarian virtues of simplicity\, land stewardship\, sustainable farming\, local economies and rootedness to place have been replaced by a capital-intensive model of industrial agriculture characterized by machine labor\, chemical fertilizers\, soil erosion and debt – all of which have frayed the fabric of rural communities. Writing from a long wooden desk beneath a forty-paned window\, Berry has watched this struggle unfold\, becoming one of its most passionate and eloquent voices in defense of agrarian life. \nFilmed across four seasons in the farming cycle\, LOOK & SEE blends observational scenes of farming life\, interviews with farmers and community members with evocative\, carefully framed shots of the surrounding landscape.  Thus\, in the spirit of Berry’s agrarian philosophy\, Henry County itself will emerge as a character in the film – a place and a landscape that is deeply interdependent with the people that inhabit it. \n \nThe First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward.  Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax.

SUMMARY:First Friday Film Series: The Messenger
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 6th at 7:00 pm\, LandCare presents Messenger: Imagine a World Without Birdsong. \nSu Rynard’s wide-ranging and contemplative documentary THE MESSENGER explores our deep-seated connection to birds and warns that the uncertain fate of songbirds might mirror our own. Moving from the northern reaches of the Boreal Forest to the base of Mount Ararat in Turkey to the streets of New York\, THE MESSENGER brings us face-to-face with a remarkable variety of human-made perils that have devastated thrushes\, warblers\, orioles\, tanagers\, grosbeaks and many other airborne music-makers. \nOn one level\, THE MESSENGER is an engaging\, visually stunning\, emotional journey\, one that mixes its elegiac message with hopeful notes and unique glances into the influence of songbirds on our own expressions of the soul. On another level\, THE MESSENGER is the artful story about the mass depletion of songbirds on multiple continents\, and about those who are working to turn the tide. \nIn ancient times humans looked to the flight and songs of birds to protect the future. Today once again\, birds have something to tell us. \n \nThe First Friday Film Series\, hosted by Grayson LandCare & Church of the Good Shepherd brings documentary films to the public\, complete with popcorn and panel discussions afterward.  Church of the Good Shepherd: 9441 Grayson Pkwy\, Galax.
