ABOUT THE FILM
This new documentary presents four stories of people living life on their own terms, leading a culinary revolution from the ground up: an Indigenous-owned youth-run organic farm in Hawaii, a Black urban grower in Kansas City who runs a land-farm at East High School, a female Kosher butcher in Colorado working with the queer community and an Inuit community on the Arctic Coast adapting to climate change with a garden in a small geodesic dome.
FREE admission for Free State Film Society subscribers with advance registration.
