 Transition US :: March 2012 e-newsletterEXTRA EXTRA!... In Transition 2.0 movie launched!The North American version (NTSC for US & CAN DVD players) will soon  be available through Transition US. You can pre-order your copy NOW, and we'll send them out as soon as they're ready! In January we shared the trailer for In Transition 2.0 in our resources section. The film has launched in its European version (PAL format)! Check out the story below about the film and what folks are saying about it. We’re anticipating that many Transition groups and initiatives will be keen on screening the film, so we are producing a version of the DVD formatted specifically for North American DVD players (NTSC) with subtitles in Spanish, French and English (for hearing impaired). With the Transition Challenge around the corner, it's the perfect movie for a kick off event to inspire and activate current and new  allies in Transition! Are you ready to take the Challenge?
Register your action so we can show the world just how powerful we are as a movement, then check out the Actions Map to see who else is taking on the challenge.
