Pulling up in Silver Lake for a special screening, the Filmmobile joins forces with the Echo Park Time Bank to present “Coming Home: E.F. Schumacher and the Reinvention of the Local Economy.” The 2009 documentary, inspired by E.F. Schumacher’s 1973 book “Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered,” traces the work of communities that reinvent their local economies. Most notably known for their creation of the “BerkShare,” the nation’s most successful local currency, these communities give us insight into rethinking the power of local resources. Get started on your own sugar-based economy by coming early for the dessert potluck!
