Screening and Q&A with Helena Norbert-Hodge and Dr. Jason Hickel

Documentary film The Economics of Happiness explores how we humans can shift direction – environmentally, economically, and spiritually – from a globalized system of exploitation, inequality, and environmental degradation toward local cultures and economies that support renewal, resilience, and human and planetary well-being.
