A Successful Screening of
‘A Delicate Balance – the Truth’
By UK News Group (Originally in English)
[Ipswich, Canterbury] During the 2009 tour of the film ‘A Delicate Balance – the Truth’ in the UK, local initiates have been actively promoting what is a timely expose on the urgent matter of environmental crisis. On June 4, the 86-minute documentary attracted more than 50 attendees to a screening held at the High-Tech BT Research and Development Centre, Adastral Park, Ipswich. Attendees included Councillors and representatives of a number of green organizations from neighbouring towns. A positive and encouraging discussion with Aaron Scheibner, the Film Director followed the screening. Discussion covered topics such as the vegan diet, health, and environment, with many attendees requesting a screening for their own organizations. The flyer ‘Vegetarianism in Religions’ was given out by our initiates, and prompted interest from a committee member of a local church who wanted to start a discussion on this subject. ‘Greenfootsteps’, a local green organization invited the initiates to join their forum and to contribute articles on the subject of ‘Effective solutions to curb Global Warming.’ All the guests were treated to some delicious vegan snacks prepared by the initiates and took home more SOS flyers and DVDs for review. On June 28, ‘A Delicate Balance – the Truth’ was screened at ‘Good Food Café’, a vegetarian café situated in the heart of the UK’s most ancient city Canterbury. Many attendees from all walks of life actively participated in the Question & Answers session afterwards. People requested vegan recipes and asked for more related information on climate change. Several of them were eager to start a vegan lifestyle. Initiates served the vegan ‘Sunday Roast’ and offered to continue assisting at such events. It was encouraging to see the positive response from all
the attendees, as many of them expressed their interest for more information
and are seriously considering switching to a meat-free diet or at
least cutting down their meat and dairy consumptions.
