The second Saturday of the month Alaska Vegetarian Society has a film night.
Our world is constantly changing and it is important that we stay aware of how these changes will effect us. The films will be on a wide range of topics including: health, nutrition, the environment, and sustainable and compassionate living. We will be showing films people would not typically find at BlockBuster or NetFlix. Our hope is that these films will be thought provoking, educational, inspiring and mind expanding--opening us up to new perspectives.
There will be light snacks and a discussion time after the film to help foster ideas of how these topics affect us and actions we can take personally, culturally and as a species.
The AVS Film Nights will be held in Wasilla or Palmer on alternating months from 7-9 p.m. The ending time will vary depending on the length of the film and the discussion afterwords.
For directions and a map to the film location click the "Map" button at left.

About the film....
Have you ever wondered what your liver really does? How about your pancreas? What does your small intestine do? And your large intestine? We throw a lot of words around, like carbohydrates, starches, proteins, and amino acids, but what are they, really?
This video of Dr. Klaper’s presentation at the VegSource Get Healthy Now Expo in California last October will help you understand the different parts of the digestive system, how they work, and some of the things that can go wrong. Dr. Klaper has a real admiration for the human body and will help you go away with a greatly increased appreciation for the miracle that takes place every time a mouthful of your food is transformed into your own muscles, bones, organs, and energy.
It will be projected onto a large screen so you don’t miss any of the fascinating details!
WHEN: Saturday, February 11, from 7 - 9 p.m.
WHERE: Dayspring Enrichment Center, in Wasilla. For directions, click "Map" button. For more info. call 373-1526.
WHY: To inspire and reinforce positive diet and lifestyle choices
