ONLINE FILM SCREENING AND DISCUSSION HOSTED BY MORAG GAMBLE

THE SEQUEL: WHAT WILL FOLLOW OUR TROUBLED CIVILIZATION?

by BAFTA-winning director Peter Armstrong.

We know what we need to do. We need to build the sequel, to draw on inspiration which has lain dormant, like the seed beneath the snow." ~ DAVID FLEMING

This film is being shared as part of the 2025 International Permaculture Festival of Wild Ideas, celebrating International Permaculture Day.

THE SEQUEL shines a light on the work and legacy of an amazing man: David Fleming. A historian, economist, and ecologist with a deep understanding of how we got here and a compelling vision of how we can recover what we have lost as the market economy has worked its way into every aspect of our lives.

Around the world, fresh shoots are already emerging as people develop the skills, will and resources necessary to recapture the initiative and re-imagine civilisation, often in the ruins of collapsed mainstream economies.

Opening with a powerful ‘deep time’ perspective, from the beginning of the Earth to our present moment, this film recognises the fundamental unsustainability of today’s society and dares to ask the big question: What will follow?

LENGTH: 61 minutes

WHO IS IN THE FILM

In the film, we encounter extraordinary projects and people from four continents, from the likes of renegade economist Kate Raworth, conservative philosopher Roger Scruton and the late Gaian ecologist Stephan Harding to localisation revolutionary Helena Norberg-Hodge, inspirational practivist Rob Hopkins, eco-pioneer Jonathon Porritt and philanthropist composer Peter Buffett, among many others.

All were inspired by a work of rare depth that is rekindling optimism in the creativity and intelligence of humans to nurse our communities and ecology back to health – Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It – the posthumously published lifework of the late https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Fleming_(writer).

NOTE: You can find interviews with Helena, Stephan and Rob on Sense-Making in a Changing World Podcast
