Join us on Saturday, March 7th for special One Earth Film Festival screenings of documentary films about people claiming and reclaiming local food production.
No Land, No Food, No Life, at 11 am, explores sustainable small scale agriculture around the world and the urgent call for an end to corporate global land grabs. Edible City, at 3 pm, introduces a diverse cast of extraordinary characters in the Bay Area who are challenging the paradigm of our broken food system. Both films are official selections of the Fourth Annual One Earth Film Festival.
Join us after each of the screenings for solution-oriented discussions; tours of a solar-powered, food-producing, community-focused landmark building; and micro-workshops on urban gardening.
