SUMMARY:'Saving Walden's World' to Screen in Carmel\, CA
DESCRIPTION:What kind of world are we leaving for the next generation? \nIn a time of mounting climate anxiety and geopolitical uncertainty\, it is easy to feel that the system is failing. But while the headlines focus on extraction and conflict\, there is a Plan B being engineered by communities in the places you’d least expect\, and a Maine filmmaker went looking for it. \nThe Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula is proud to host a special community screening of Saving Walden’s World on Tuesday\, October 20\, 2026\, at 6:30 PM\, at 490 Aguajito Road\, Carmel\, California. \nThis film follows Jim Merkel’s personal journey from a former military engineer to a father raising his son\, Walden\, on an off-grid homestead in Maine. Jim traveled to Kerala\, Cuba\, and Slovenia to investigate how communities there have achieved genuine stability\, by prioritizing women’s literacy\, healthcare\, and reproductive freedom\, and what that means for the rest of us. \nThis screening represents a deeply meaningful homecoming. The film’s critical inciting incident takes place on the Central Coast in San Luis Obispo\, capturing Jim’s personal ethical crisis in the late 1980s while working as a military engineering arms dealer. That awakening sparked a decades-long journey of redemption. He completely shifted his life to peace activism\, serving locally as a board member for ECOSLO\, chairperson for the Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club\, and founding the local Alternative Transportation Task Force. \nWhy attend? This isn’t just a movie. It is a blueprint for a livable future. Recently accepted for national distribution on PBS via NETA\, this Carmel screening is a rare chance for our community to engage with these solutions before they reach a national audience. \nFree and open to the public\, registration encouraged\, walk-ins welcome! Seating is limited to 100\, so save your seat by registering here. Donations towards the film’s global impact campaign are certainly welcome. Q&A with director Jim Merkel will follow the screening. \nEvent Details: \nDATE: Tuesday\, October 20\, 2026 | 6:30 PM \nLOCATION: Unitarian Universalist Church of the Monterey Peninsula at 490 Aguajito Road\, Carmel\, CA 93923 \nLOCAL CONTACTS: Rev. Elaine Gehrmann | minister@uucmp.org \nWEBSITE: savingwaldensworld.org \nWatch the trailer: https://youtu.be/an4LqG9mLlM?si=fnkHeqFoT03B9dKJ
