DESCRIPTION:Saturday, April 12, 7pm \nBerkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists\n1924 Cedar St. (at Bonita)\nScreening of  "THE POWER OF 
 COMMUNITY"\nWhen the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went 
 into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 
 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and 
 struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people 
 during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a 
 highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic 
 methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the 
 Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special 
 Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the 
 time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak 
 and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a 
 crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of 
 options and hope.\nDiscussion follows. Donations (sliding scale) 
 appreciated for the ongoing work of peace and justice.\nWheel chair
