It the ten years since it’s inception the Transition movement has spread far and wide, reaching villages, towns and cities in over 40 countries.
Fledgling British filmmakers Chris Bettles and Zoe Moyden, inspired by the success of Transition and driven by their belief that a better, more sustainable world can become a reality, will embark upon a journey to meet the people behind Transition initiatives and other grass-roots community projects In North America.
