Material Detail

Joanna Macy and the Great Turning is a short film about the societal shift now underway from an industrial growth society to a more sustainable civilization.

Based on an extensive interview with well-known writer, teacher, and activist Joanna Macy, the film lays out Macy's understanding of "the Great Turning" as the third major revolution of human existence after the agricultural and industrial revolutions.

Illustrated with beautiful footage shot around the world, the film is at once sobering, insightful, and inspiring. The Great Turning is ultimately a call to take part in this new "great adventure" in order to help create a more life-sustaining world.
