Fixing the Future - documentary

DESIS recommends: David Brancaccio hosts this documentary, a roadtrip (by bike, train and re-invented cars) across the USA to portrait small but consistent collaborative changes in American life styles starting by the basics: food, mobility, shelter... and its relation to a "new" economy. A relation that has all the potential to Fix the Future.

Life is just an “eating trip”

"People eat. That is how we survive. For humans, however, eating has become more than just sustenance and replenishment of nutrients. It has become an opportunity for bonding with others, for chatting about what we’ve been up to, and asking about our loved one’s days. The act of eating is also the act of interacting with nature. Meat, vegetables, fruit and grain are all living organisms that combine to sustain us. And if life is a journey, then surely eating is an excursion in itself. After all, is not life a series of dinner times?

"… as long as money is not part of our game, pleasure is at the core. The pure pleasure of being generous with someone else, makes you feel good.It’s a very banal thing to say, but it's a definitive truth we shouldn't avoid."
