The film
The Austrian documentary filmmaker Stefan Wolf(aka Shin Veda) traveled through Europe in order to explore and document well established eco-communities that portray some of the broad spectrum of lifestyle possibilities that are part of our global effort to transition to a sustainable world.
Experience ecovillages and ecological communities in Europe in this two hour long documentary portrait.
The variety of situations and voices in A New We inspires hope for the future of humanity and all life on the planet. The lives shown here are more motivated by imagination, vision, respect and cooperation than by economic forces and social expectations. In these 10 communities, the creative solutions to many social, environmental and economic challenges exemplify the nearly infinite capacity for human-, community- and self-development.
It’s a film that enlightens, encourages and spreads hope – for a new world and A New We.
