The Virginia Film Society presents Go Further
The Virginia Film Society's Fall Season concludes on Tuesday, November 30
with a screening of the acclaimed environmental documentary, Go Further at
Vinegar Hill Theatre (http://www.vinegarhilltheatre.com/) at 7pm. Go
Further, the new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Ron Mann and
starring Woody Harrelson, explores the idea that the single individual is
the key to large-scale transformational change. Admission is $7.50; free to
Film Society members. The screening is cosponsored with the Virginia
Foundation for the Humanities.
Calling his new movie an "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test on Tofu", director
Ron Mann (Grass, Twist) joins actor/activist Woody Harrelson as he pilots a
hemp-fueled bus on an eco-consciousness raising incursion down the
beautiful Pacific Coast. Harrelson takes a small group of friends on a
bio-fuelled bus-ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show
the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our
habitual, environmentally-destructive behaviors.
"It's the movie I'm most proud of," Harrelson said of Go Further in an
interview with L. Kent Wolgamott of Lincoln Journal Star. "It's a really
well-done film. It's a terrific movie that has a great message that's
hysterically funny. You don't get that very often."
The travelers include a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a
junk-food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to
impulsively hop aboard. We meet an entrepreneur who runs a paper company
that does not harm trees; an organic farmer who believes Nature is his
partner; a man who teaches environmental activists to use humor as a
strategic weapon. And throughout, we see the hostility these pilgrims
encounter, and watch as their ideas are challenged from within and without.
Harrelson himself tests his belief that the transformation of our planet
begins with the small personal transformations that are within the grasp of
each and every one of us, after which? we'll go further.
"Hilarious and instructive. What's so funny 'bout peace, love and organic
farming? Go Further makes righteous living seem like fun," said Peter
Howell, Toronto Star.
