On this 'Earth Day' celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection, celebrated since 1970, Lamakaan presents a moving documentary 'The Economics of Happiness'

'The Economics of Happiness' features a chorus of voices from six continents calling for systemic economic change. The documentary describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance - and, far from the old institutions of power, they're starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm - an economics of localization.

This film is made by 3 film makers: Steven Gorelick, Helena Norberg-Hodge, John Page.

Following the screening is an open discussion with our local environmentalists and activists.
