Cuba transitioned from large, fossil-fuel intensive farming t o small, less energy-intensive organic farms and urban gardens, and fr om a highly industrial society to a significantly more sustainable one . The film tells the story of the Cuban people’s hardship, ingenuity and triumph over sudden adversity—through cooperation, conservation and community, told in their own words. As the world approaches peak oil, Cuba provides a valuable example of how to successfully address t he challenge.””…and how it did so is one of the most important a nd hopeful stories of the past few decades. It is a story not just of individual achievement but of the collective mobilization of an entire society to meet an enormous challenge.” -Community Service, Inc.\n\ n**SPEAKER** One of the great things that came out of Cuba’s new sys tem of agriculture was a focus on fresh fruits and vegetables in the d iet, more readily available to all. We are privileged to have Bryn Maw r-based Dr. Ana Negron speak after the film, to tell us of her travels to see these communities in Cuba and how she informs her own patients here about the huge health benefits of eating fresh, organic, real fo od. We’ll have a tasting of some of her home-grown recipes and liste n to some gorgeous Cuban tunes from the CD Buena Vista Social Club.\n\ nCome at 7PM for light refreshments. The screening begins promptly at 7:30 PM. We are asking for a $7 donation for the evening…no one is t urned away at the door. Dr. Negron will speak at 8:30 PM, with a discu ssion afterward. Many thanks to Common Ground member Dagmar Holl for r ecommending this film and introducing us to Dr. Negron!\nSee also Dr. Negron’s website: www.greensonabudget.org\n\nDirections to the PMC:\ nFrom Center City and West Philadelphia:\nTake Market Street west to W est Chester Pike (Route 3).\nAfter crossing Township Line Road (Route 1), turn right on Darby Rd\nWhen Darby Road splits, take left fork.\nC ross Eagle Road, then turn right into the Oakmont Public Parking Lot.\ nThis parking lot is directly behind PMC.\nEntrance to PMC is on East Eagle Road.\n\nFrom Delaware:\nTake I-95 north to I-476.\nTake I-476 n orth to exit 9 (West Chester Pike).\nTurn right (east) onto West Chest er Pike (Route 3).\nImmediately move to left lane.
