The Amitoyens in Pays de Gex, France, had a dream for themselves and for future generations. As one of them, Stephanie, says: “The society that we have created, no longer works. We are at the end of the road. We want to propose a different way of living and we want to make it work, together”. Throughout the years they had to adapt their dream and their actions, but the shared values of people and families in les Amitoyens stood strong. In the context of a collapsing ecosystem, Dare is a story of love, vision and courage to act.
We think that many others can benefit from the experience of Les Amitoyens. Their determination to deal with challenges that come on their way can inspire other groups that want to make a difference, for themselves and for next generations. Therefore, we want people in many places to see this movie, to discuss it and to learn from it.
We are reaching out to you as organisers of festivals, neighborhood events, those engaged in co-housing projects, social enterprises, students and anyone interested in societal change. We hope together we can make screening events in your groups possible, where ever you are in the world. Contact us on [email protected].
