Homegrown Film Evening Cancelled

17 February 2012

 Homegrown - Supper and film screening CANCELLED

Unfortunately for reasons that are not clear to us, Take One Action have been forced by legal action in the US to cancel the planned screening of film Homegrown, by director Robert McFalls, at the Cromarty Old Brewery on Wednesday 29 February at 7:30pm.

Transition Black Isle is very disappointed about this as we have all been looking forward to it. Homegrown is the true story of one family living ‘off the grid’ on an organic urban homestead in the heart of Pasadena City, California. On less than a quarter of an acre, they harvest over 6000 pounds of produce every year, feeding themselves and their friends, making their own biodiesel, and harnessing solar power for pretty much everything else.
What sets them apart is how they take what is familiar to so many – time, space and relationships in the city – to make something grow that most of us wouldn’t have thought possible… until now.
The 52 minute film was described by one reviewer as "an intimate human portrait of what it’s like to live like ‘Little House on the Prairie’ in the 21st Century.”

We are in discussion with Take One Action and hope to rearrange this event for another date as soon as possible

We are part of the rapidly expanding worldwide Transition Towns movement. The Black Isle is a peninsula of about 100 sq miles ENE of Inverness in Scotland, UK.
