'Purpose' Documentary Screening

​📍 Join Climate Concierge and PNW Climate Week for a special screening of Purpose, a film chronicling two years in the lives of two political economists, as they embark on ambitious political projects to move our societies towards a long-term wellbeing economy for all. They struggle, fail, pick themselves up again — and forge a path that may change our future.

​Following the film, stay for a facilitated conversation designed to spark cross-sector insight and local action, with space for business leaders, policymakers, and innovators to reflect on how these ideas apply in our own region.

​🍿Synopsis: Housing shortage, food crisis, energy crisis... our world seems to be on the brink of collapse. Those who want to improve things are trying to effect a little bit of change here or there. But how can we succeed if all the other crises keep happening at the same time?

​Katherine Trebeck is fighting for an alliance of countries whose economies refocus on what really matters for people and planet. Lorenzo Fioramonti takes the same ideas deep into politics, becoming a minister in the Italian government. Some of their ideas work, others fail. We can learn from their courage, perseverance and clear vision — especially now, when everything seems to be in question.
