RON
MANN Ron Mann is a political
advocate and filmmaker whose work has achieved critical and popular acclaim. One
of the world's foremost documentary filmmakers, Mann's personal and professional
quest is to make marginal cultures visible and accessible. A chronicler of movements
that are considered underground or subversive, his sympathies are always with
the underdogs, the artists and the radicals. Grass,
for instance, is a devastating and hilarious critique of how marijuana became
the object of a billion dollar eradication and punishment campaign by the US government. Go Further, the new film by Ron Mann, explores the idea that the single individual is the key to large-scale transformational change. The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus-ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally-destructive behaviors. What does Ron talk about? How
to "Go Further" Ron Mann follows
his award winning eco-movie about Woody Harrelson's sustainable living tour, with
an entertaining talk about specific actions people can do that can make a differance.
Whether its about the transformational benefits of yoga, switching to french fry
grease for fuel or eating an organic salad, Mann inspires us to go a little bit
further. | ||
