The evening begins with an optional social hour and pot luck supper at 6:00 pm,
followed by the film at 7:30 pm, followed by a discussion at the end of the film.
WORK AND TIME
What is work? Why is it important? What's changed about work in our globalized, corporatized world? Why are we overworked, under-worked, or out of work? Why don't we have enough time for the things we say are most important in our lives? What are we "saving time" for anyway? This documentary examines work and time as intertwined problems in our fast-forward lives and why it has become increasingly harder to find balance. Jeremy Rifkin, Matthew Fox, Paul Hawken, Barbara Moses, Sally Lerner, Stewart Brand, and "El Vez," the Mexican Elvis impersonator, are some of the people who offer ideas on what work and time mean and how we can get to a more equitable place in our lives.
Wheelchair accessible around the corner at 411 28th Street
$5 donations are accepted
