About the Film:

Shimmering with life like a cornucopia of colorful vegetables, this vibrant, hopeful film (2006; directed by Faith Morgan) brings to light one of the most important stories of the last two decades ? how a small island nation responded to a sudden and dangerous drop in oil supplies. When Cuba?s hefty subsidies of oil, food and other goods ceased after the Soviet Union collapsed and the U.S. tightened its embargo, Cubans suffered terrible hardships. In a ?peak oil? crisis similar to one the entire world will soon face, electric power became intermittent, transportation nearly stopped, parts were unavailable, and without fertilizers and tractors, food production declined to precarious levels. But Cuba bounced back.

This inspiring film offers us a living model of sustainability, as Cubans tell the remarkable story of their nation?s recovery and its transition to organic agriculture, renewable energy, effective mass transit, lowered consumption, better health, and stronger communities.

About the Potluck:

For the vegetarian potluck, participants are encouraged to contribute food produced within a 100-mile radius of their homes (Santa Barbara to San Diego). If that?s not possible, then strive to purchase organic foods grown within the closest distance.

About Path to Freedom:

Sponsoring organization Path to Freedom is a family-operated, viable urban homesteading project established by Jules Dervaes in 2001 to promote a simpler and more fulfilling lifestyle and to sow a ?homegrown revolution ?? against the corporate powers that control the food supply. Since the mid?1980s, members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked at transforming their ordinary city lot in Pasadena into a thriving organic garden that supplies them with food all year round. These eco-pioneers also run a successful business providing salad greens to local restaurants. This helps them fund their purchases of solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and a biodiesel processor to further decrease their homestead\\'s reliance on the earth?s non-renewable resources.
