On Saturday afternoon, March 27, at 4:30pm at the Ojai Theatre, the Ojai Valley Green Coalition will make a special presentation of the documentary film The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil.
The film focuses on the oil supply crisis that the collapse of the Soviet Union brought upon Cuba. This Cuban experience of the 1990s offers lessons to help prepare other nations with petroleum-based economies—such as our own—for a future in which oil will become more more expensive and could eventually be unavailable.
Speaking prior to the film screening will be two-term Santa Barbara City Councilmember Das Williams, who grew up in Ojai and is a Democratic candidate, endorsed by the California League of Conservation Voters, for election to the California State Assembly in the 35th district. In addition to his City Council service, Williams teaches at Santa Barbara’s Antioch University, serves as a Trustee of Peabody Charter School, is a community organizer for the Ventura-based nonprofit CAUSE, and is a national board member of the National Organization for Women. He will speak briefly on issues related to the film.
The presentation is being sponsored by the local natural foods company Nutiva, and there is a $10 suggested donation.
