The Power of Community - How Cuba survived peak oil will be screened at 6pm in Lecture Hall A5 (in the Art A Block, which is just next to the main Library), University of Sussex. Cuba, an isolated island nation, rebuilt its quality of life following the collapse of cheap oil, supplied by the former Soviet Union. This fascinating and empowering film shows how communities pulled together, created solutions, and ultimately thrived in spite of their decreased dependence on imported energy.
Directions once you're at the university: the 25 bus goes straight to campus and it's a 3 minute walk from the bus stop in the entrance of the campus. Head straight through the courtyard of Falmer house and keep on straight - Look out for two concrete columns: this is the arts block.
