PORT TOWNSEND — A film will kick off the monthlong Port Townsend Community Read at 7 p.m. today.
The film, titled “This Changes Everything,” will screen at 7 p.m. at the Wheeler Theater at Fort Worden. It will be followed by an audience discussion.
The film was created by the husband of the author who wrote this year’s Community Read selection.
Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate examines the question of whether climate change can be reversed without a shift from capitalism.
While the 466-page book is primarily data and information, the film, created by Avi Lewis, Klein’s husband, documents people around the world who are trying to protect their resources and communities.
On Friday, financial adviser James Frazier will present “Green & Fossil-Free: Investing in Solutions to Climate Change” at 6 p.m. at the Library Learning Center at 1256 Lawrence St.
The reception for “Radical Change: A Juried Art Show” will be Saturday at the Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water St., from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
On Saturday and Sunday, Key City Theater actors will present readings from This Changes Everything.
The readings will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the Northwind Arts Center.
Also Saturday will be a discussion of the first 187 pages of the book.
The discussion will be from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Quimper Grange, 1219 Corona St.
During a Community Read program, everyone is invited to read the book and participate in discussions and events during the month of March. Books are available at the Port Townsend Library.
