Screening: FRESH
May 11th, 2009 by Jervey
Food docs galore this month, apparently. Can’t have too many, we thinks. Check out FRESH:
FRESH will be screening in NYC on Wednesday May 27th. FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Joel Salatin (Polyface Farm), Will Allen (Growing Power), Joan Gussow (Columbia University), Dan Barber (Blue Hill), and moderated by Jacquie Berger (Just Food.) .
And here’s the trailer:
