Simmons Net Impact, Boston, MA (July 3, 2015) - The Simmons Net Impact Chapter is hosting a film screening and discussion of the Documentary “Not Business as Usual” on Tuesday, July 14th from 6-9 p.m. in the SOM, M104. The film screening will be an opportunity for the Simmons community to enjoy pizza, popcorn and candy, while discussing what it means to build impact and lead with value in your community within today's capitalist society.

To promote sustainability, we are inviting all guests to bring their own reusable plates and cups for refreshments, although disposable options will be available for those that need them.

The one hour documentary provides “a provocative look at capitalism as envisioned by Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman, the most influential economist of the late 20th century. The film explores why he only measured success by one metric: Profit and how that narrow view has resulted in environmental destruction, human rights abuses and ironically enough, unsustainable business practices.This feature length documentary tracks the changing landscape of business with the rising tide of conscious capitalism and features the inspiring stories of several subversive entrepreneurs from Vancouver who are redefining what it means to be successful.” (The B institute)
