“Alternatives”, from Latin Alter (other) y Nativus (born), refers to the search for new realities, and new origins. This is the starting point for this documentary project: showing innovative initiatives of socio-ecological transition. Diverse experiences provide responses to the worldwide systemic crisis (energetic, economic, ecological, social, cultural and epistemic) that we are suffering.
What are the contents?
The documentary aims to show:
● Ecosocial transition and degrowth initiatives in a wide sense. Initiatives that are transformative and innovative, foster a regenerative culture.
● Change processes at ecological, economic, social and cultural levels.
● Different interrelated areas where the transition process is key: energy, mobility, food, housing, education, governance, economy, etc.
● Transition processes, both at the collective and individual levels.
● What drives participants to develop their projects.
● The itinerary undertook by the initiative: starting point, how they evolve, conflicts (internal and external) that arise and how they overcome them.
