5:15 - 5:30 The Adventures of Rawman & Green-Girl

A new breed of Superhero has emerged to save us from our ecological shortsightedness, and those that would abuse our world for their own benefit. Filmmaker: Ron Gilmore

5:30-6:30 Be The Change

Be the Change explores the motivations for, and the challenges and rewards of, trying to live more lightly. It is a celebration of the human spirit. It is a “100-kilometre” film made entirely in the Ottawa region, so you may well know some of the people in this film. Filmmaker: David Chernushenko

6:30 - 6:45 Intermission
6:45 - 7:45 Reversing the Irreversible

A collection of incredible interviews with people who have naturally healed their bodies from cancer, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia and other diseases. These brave people disclose the means by which they accomplished these feats, and show what getting healthier really looks like. Filmmaker: Valya Boutenko

7:45 - 8:15 Discussion with Valya Boutenko
8:15 - 9:15 A Sacred Duty

This film shows that applying values taught by ancient Hebrew texts will help to heal our imperiled planet. The movie considers threats from global climate change and animal-based agriculture’s contributions to this crisis. In the vein of "An Inconvenient Truth," the film reminds us that it is our sacred duty to become aware of these realities and our responsibility to apply Jewish teachings to how we obtain our food, use natural resources, and live peacefully with all other creatures. Filmmakers: Lionel Friedberg, Richard Schwartz

Saturday September 6th
5:00 - 5:10 The Meatrix

The movie that started it all! The Meatrix spoofs The Matrix films and highlights the problems with factory farming. Instead of Keanu Reeves, The Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family farm... He thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad cow, Moopheus, and joins him on a journey to learn more about what goes on behind closed barn doors at factory farms. The Meatrix was created and produced by Sustainable Table (www.sustainabletable.org) and Free Range Studios (www.freerangestudios.com).

5:10 - 6:00 Money Talks

Based on the writer/director's decade selling drugs. Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau is a mother, wife and former drug pusher (legally) turned filmmaker. At 35, with no prior film making experience, she wrote, directed, and co-produced the critically acclaimed independent film Side Effects.

The film, starring Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) is closely based on her decade working for Big Pharma as a pharmaceutical sales representative. Katherine Heigl delivers a jaw dropping performance in this smart and sexy comedy.

Due to the overwhelming response to Side Effects, Kathleen went on to make the award-winning documentary Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety with filmmaker Holly Mosher . This film delves deeper into the issues of pharmaceutical influence. Money Talks features interviews with key opinion leaders from Harvard, UCLA, and Columbia

6:00 - 6:30 Discussion with the Film Maker Holly Mosher
