Join us at 7:00 pm on the first Thursday of each month for Documentary Film night at The Organic Farm Shop.

Us Now is a documentary film project about the power of mass collaboration, the government and the Internet. The New York Times describes it as a film which "paints a future in which every citizen is connected to the state as easily as to Facebook, choosing policies, questioning politicians, collaborating with neighbours."
