Two events this weekend in Asheville

MOVIE ON March 12, 2010

Asheville Unitarian Universalist Church’s next social justice film will be THE AGE OF STUPID, Friday, March 12, at 7 PM. All may gain insight from his film, as it helps us overcome the lies we tell ourselves, as we tend to avoid effectively dealing with the emerging crisis of climate change.

Beginning in the year 2055 in a very troubled world, a record keeper is entrusted with the preservation of humanity's surviving store of art and knowledge. Alone in his offshore repository, he reviews information recalled from back "when we could have saved ourselves", trying to discern where it all went wrong.
