Pam Bailey Film Series: Living Soil
Friday, February 21
6:00 p.m.
Prairie Hill Common House
140 Prairie Hill Lane, Iowa City
Join us on Friday, February 21 for a showing of Living Soil, an inspiring 60-minute documentary directed by Chelsea Myers for Tiny Attic Productions.
The film explores what will be asked of our soil in the next forty years. Consider these facts:
"Our soils support 95% of all food production, and by 2060, our soils will be asked to give us as much food as we have consumed in the last 500 years. Soil filters our water. Soil is one of our most cost-effective reservoirs for sequestering carbon. Soil is our foundation for biodiversity."
We will have childcare available. Hope to see you there!
Pam Bailey was a visionary. She saw a need for innovative non-traditional housing options that would allow people to live and age in new and creative settings. After Pam's death in 2006, a small group of family and friends decided to honor her memory by continuing her exploration of alternative housing models. The group was particularly intrigued with the concept of multigenerational cohousing. So, they pooled their funds and sent a representative (Barb Bailey) to a cohousing conference in Washington, DC to learn more about it. And that was the seed from which Iowa City Cohousing grew. Lots of people have worked hard to bring Prairie Hill into existence, watering and nurturing that seed. We honor Pam's early vision by naming our film series after her. We will select films that will help us all think beyond what we already know and perhaps inspire us to take actions to make our world a better place.
