Living in The Time of Dying
https://vimeo.com/ondemand/livinginthetimeofdyingLiving in The Time of Dying is an unflinching look at what it means to be living in the midst of climate catastrophe and civilisational collapse. Once we lift the veil of denial and see the time we are living in clearly for what it is, how then do we find purpose, meaning and courage to meet it.
Recognising the magnitude of the crisis we are facing, independent filmmaker Michael Shaw, sells his house to travel around the world looking for answers. Pretty soon we begin to see how deep the predicament goes, and how our cultural systems and ways of thinking brought us here. Stan Rushworth, a Native American Elder, brings an especially enlightening viewpoint to these questions. It becomes clear that climate change is going to ruin our way of life and this then opens up a whole new set of questions: How did we get here as a civilisation to begin with? How do we choose to live in these times with purpose and clarity? and what actions make sense at this time? The people interviewed in the documentary, all highly regarded and well known spokespeople on the issue, argue it's too late to stop catastrophic climate change but in no way too late to regain a renewed life giving relationship with our world and with each other
