For this special occasion the Eco Film will be Freedom Ahead, a brandnew documentary also featuring Aviram and other Aurovilians.

Genre: Documentary. English. Filmmakers: Greetje Mulder and Rogier van der Voort, 76 minutes. 2011

Featuring Aviram Rozin, Krishna McKenzie, Vandana Shiva, Jon Jandai, Christian Shearer, Ramu Manivannan and others

Watch the official trailer here and a 10 min. Teaser further down:

In the documentary film Freedom Ahead we visit the people who are the conscience in a world which is losing its moral principles. These people regain control over their lives by being independent and living self-sufficiently. By doing so they obtain the highest valued asset of all times: real freedom. This collection of committed individuals does not constitute a movement. It is dispersed and fiercely independent. It is taking shape in universities, elementary schools, farms, communities and many other places. It is experimentally emerging as a global humanitarian movement rising from the bottom up. Freedom Ahead colourfully captures this almost instinctive response, the largest social movement in all of human history through lucid footage, inspirational stories and an evocative soundscape.
