A Silent Transformation is a film about the transformative power of the co-operative model. The co-operative movement in Ontario was built by people who took on the responsibility for their collective wellbeing in the face of government neglect, economic exclusion and cultural discrimination. However, over the years, the co-op movement has become insular and poorly understood. Will it grow and flourish? Come join us to discuss the possibilities and challenges of the cooperative movement for radical social change in Canada and beyond.
