DESCRIPTION:Film Screenings of the Documentaries:\nThe Future of Food\n\nThere is a 
 revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America 
 -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food we eat. 
 THE FUTURE OF FOOD, a documentary by Lily Films, offers an in-depth 
 investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, 
 genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store 
 shelves for the past decade\nFrom the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to 
 the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose 
 lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. 
 The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization 
 are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction 
 of genetically altered crops into our food supply\nShot on location in the 
 U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of 
 market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge 
 multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The 
 film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, 
 placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm 
 crisis today.\n\n \nThe Real Dirt on Farmer John\n“My ancestors have 
 farmed this land generation after generation, and I just about ended the 
 whole thing. What do you do when nothing is left? And in a rural community 
 where you aren’t welcome because you’re kind of different.” —Farmer 
 John Peterson\n\nThe epic tale of a maverick Midwestern farmer. An outcast 
 in his community, Farmer John bravely stands amidst a failing economy, 
 vicious rumors, and violence. By melding the traditions of family farming 
 with the power of art and free expression, this powerful story of 
 transformation and renewal heralds a resurrection of farming in 
 America.\n\nThrough highly personal interviews and 50 years of beautifully 
 textured footage, filmmaker Taggart Siegel shares Farmer John’s haunting 
 and humorous odyssey, capturing what it means to be wildly different in a 
 rural community.\n\n \n
