This is a short promotional video for the documentary "Transition in Action", which looks at new economy projects in the southwest of England.
The video looks at the market town of Totnes (where Transition Towns was founded) and some of the food and finance projects taking place there. It also compares this to Bristol and some of the projects there that are reaching scale.
Transition is now beginning to influence Government policy in the UK and some of the documents related to this in the area of energy and alternative currencies are reviewed. The international context is also outlined and how Transition is moving from the initial detoxification of the global north, to alternative development strategies of the global south.
The footage for the video was taken on field trips during an exchange with a delegation from Southwest University in China in July 2014 to Schumacher College. Rob Hopkins, School Farm, Grocycle, Totnes Pound, REconomy, Bristol Pound, Bristol Energy Co-operative are amongst the projects outlined.
