This showing is free and open to the public. We've shown it before and it was a huge crowd pleaser - it's excellent!
The documentary, "The Power of Community - How Cuba Survived Peak Oil," was inspired when Faith Morgan and Pat Murphy took a trip to Cuba through Global Exchange in August, 2003. That year Pat had begun studying and speaking about worldwide peak oil production. In May Pat and Faith attended the second meeting of The Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, a European group of oil geologists and scientists, which predicted that mankind was perilously close to having used up half of the world's oil resources. When they learned that Cuba underwent the loss of over half of its oil imports and survived, after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990, the couple wanted to see for themselves how Cuba had done this.

As the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches on August 29, the questions that many Oregonians ask are:
*What really happened to the pets in New Orleans after Katrina?
*Will this happen again this hurricane season, or here in the event of an earthquake, volcanic eruption or tsunami?
*Why doesn't Oregon have a pet evacuation plan?
Three-time Best Documentary award-winner and Portland filmmaker Mike Shiley (Inside Iraq: The Untold Stories) will share the truth behind the animal rescues of Hurricane Katrina and what we can do to avoid a repeat of forced separation of pets from their owners in the future.
Dark Water Rising is the smoking gun that will energize and activate the public to make sure that this horrific scenario is never repeated, in New Orleans, in Oregon, or any other community.
Filmmaker Mike Shiley will personally introduce the film and answer questions after every show.

Part of the reason for this video gathering is that we have not had time at our weekly gatherings Wednesday evenings at  Laughing Horse to survey as a group the avalanche of new and often spectacular video material from just the past couple of months. And don't worry: there will be enough discussion to be sure that that no newcomer will be lost in the torrent of information contained on video.

This film gives a selective history of the oil industry in America, mainly about the effect on demographic patterns, particularly suburbia. Then it anticipates future shock as suburbia will find itself too far out from the transportation hubs--no longer in the reach of cheap gas.
