This Changes Everything – Film Screening @ NIBS

Thursday, November 26, 2015

New International Bookshop, 54 Victoria St, Trades Hall 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

 NIBS will host a public screening, in the book shop, of the new film ‘This Changes Everything,’ – the documentary inspired by the release of Naomi Klein’s new book.

Filmed over 211 shoot days in nine countries and five continents over four years, This Changes Everything is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change.

Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller This Changes Everything, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond.

Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.

NIBS Underground – Jeremy Salt – Turkey in turmoil: Is Erdogan’s bubble about to burst?’

When: Thursday, October 29 at 7:00pm

Where: NIBS

Jeremy Salt, long time expert commentator on the Middle East, will discuss the rise of the AKP since 2011 and the
increasingly authoritarian role of Erdogan in shaping his ‘new Turkey’ – a country radically different from the secular democratic state envisioned by the republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal (‘Ataturk’).

Turkey is a country polarised as never before. The dramatic rise of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) was finally checked with the elections in June when the government lost its absolute majority in Parliament. New elections will be held in November at which President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be seeking the two-thirds majority of parliament needed to change the constitution and create an executive presidency with sweeping powers.
