The Be The Change film series kicks off next Wednesday.

Now in its fifth season, Be The Change has captivated audiences with documentaries highlighting some of the most thought-provoking and important topics in our world.

Environmental, social justice, health, finance and many other important topics are highlighted each month in a way that opens eyes and minds to all sides of the issues.

Elephant Thoughts, the Blue Mountain Watershed Trust and The Environment Network have worked together to bring these fascinating films, local musicians and great local food to The Gayety Theatre — 116 Hurontario St. — to educate and inspire audiences about what each of us can do to create positive change on the planet.

As an added twist to the season, delicious gourmet boxed dinners will be supplied by the Mediterranean Catering Co. (menus available at <a href="http://www.bethechangefilmseries.ca" target="_new">www.bethechangefilmseries.ca</a> and Facebook), andThe Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts will be open each evening so guests can enjoy their dinner while browsing the art.
