The film celebrates and brings together 7 pioneering community led projects across energy, water, waste, nature connection and ecosystem restoration.
From pub dwellers rallying to restore their local marsh, to a community owned hydro-power project and Solar Punk stories of the future, writ large across public walkways. This film is about the joy of possibility in the face of uncertainty, cultivating a deep collective sense of place, and the generative power of local community action.
The film is currently doing a round of community screenings to amplify local engagement and generate a wave of new grassroots activity.
It will be released digitally later this year.

"This film is a reminder that if everyone works to improve their own small patch, together we can improve the world."
