FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system, including Michael Pollan, Joel Salatin, Will Allen, George Naylor, and Andrew Kimbrell. As the reviewer at Eco Salon said, "If Food Inc. was your wake up call, FRESH is your call to action."
Scott Marlow will
lead a discussion following the film. Scott is the Director of the Farm
Sustainability project at RAFI-USA (www.rafiusa.org). RAFI -- the Rural
Advancement Foundation International -- cultivates markets, policies and
communities that support thriving, socially just, and environmentally sound
family farms.
Refreshments will
be served from 6:30. The program will begin at 7pm sharp. The movie is just over an hour
long and we expect the discussion afterwards to last about 30
minutes.
This screening is
being sponsored by the sustainability committee at the Eno River Unitarian
Universalist Fellowship (www.ERUUF.org) . We will show
FRESH on the big screen in our Fellowship Hall at 4907 Garrett Road,
Durham.
Finally, please
consider supporting ERUUF's and RAFI's efforts to promote sustainable agriculture by inviting lots of friends.
The event is free, but donations will be accepted to cover the film licensing fees and
other costs. Any amount collected in excess of our costs will be shared with the
Rural Advancement Foundation International to help promote environmentally sound and local farming.
