Closer to Home: Voices of Hope in a Time of Crisis (2024) (trailer)

100%

This 35-minute film is a united call for a new economy, delivered by those who have committed their lives to working for systemic change. 

We live in a time of multiple crises, from climate chaos, poverty, and war to skyrocketing costs of living. It can seem overwhelming – until we realise that we have the power to change things. ‘Closer to Home’ brings together an extraordinary array of thinkers, writers, and activists from every continent to make a simple but revolutionary argument: by reducing the scale of the economy, we can not only stop the rush towards social and ecological breakdown, but restore damaged ecosystems and increase our own personal well-being. 

It’s a message of hope that the world cannot afford to ignore.
