Living the Change is a feature-length documentary that showcases individual and collective responses to the global crises we face today – highlighting solutions any one of us can be part of and offering inspiring stories of people pioneering change in their own lives and in their communities in order to live in a sustainable and regenerative way.


Directors Jordan Osmond and Antoinette Wilson have brought together stories from their travels, along with interviews with experts able to explain how we come to be where we are today. From forest gardens to composting toilets, community supported agriculture to timebanking, Living the Change offers ways we can rethink our approach to how we live.

A few reviews for Living the Change from our social media platforms:

“Best thing I have seen in ages, EVERYONE should watch this!! So happy that I helped to crowdfund this project, the quality of the production and story being told is incredible, brilliant! Thank you, Happen Films.”

– Phil Beenham, Facebook


 “…I’ve seen (and shown) many movies on similar topics. To date this is the best one I’ve seen. Beautifully grounded, pulls no punches about the gravity of the situation we face but gives excellent examples of credible and achievable solutions. ”

– Gail, Facebook


 “This film creates hope… Instead of the negative, despairing, angry message that a collapse is coming…. it focuses on living a good, ethical, meaningful life now AND being more prepared to assist with a transition back to our earthling roots.”

– Adriana, Amazon


 “I never write reviews but I feel compelled to recommend this movie…The movie addresses permaculture, alternative currencies, zero waste, etc in a beautiful and inspiring way. Watch it, and be better for it.”
