Food Justice Film Series: The Future of Food
Thursday, June 6, 2013
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Bridge Art Space, 23 Maine Ave, Richmond, CA 

This month, the Richmond Food Policy Council's monthly Food Justice Film Series presents The Future of Food. This timely documentary distills the complex technology and consumer issues surrounding major changes in the food system today -- genetically engineered foods, patenting, and the corporatization of food -- into terms every person can understand. It empowers consumers to realize the consequences of their food choices on our future. 

The film will be accompanied by Eric Eberman, child labor activist and co-organizer of MAM (March Against Monsanto), and food by local co-op Liberty Ship Cafe. A $5 donation will be appreciated. 

RSVP on Facebook!

Synopsis

Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. Zulema, Perla and Victor labor as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their families survive. THE HARVEST/LA COSECHA profiles these three as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida's tomato fields to follow the harvest.

From the Producers of the Academy-Award® Nominated film, WAR/DANCE and Executive Producer Eva Longoria, this award-winning documentary provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7 days a week to feed America.

This event is a project of the Richmond Food Policy Council.

Working to create a healthy and equitable food system for Richmond.
