 -- NEW THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE EATING\n \nWhat do urbanites know about 
 farming?  This new documentary shows us how a sustainable food system 
 operates – by focusing on personal and community stories of change.  
 Concern about food systems have increased over the years as the negative 
 consequences on our health and environment, from toxins in the food chain 
 to animal pandemics, have become more and more apparent.  Adding to a 
 growing body of work that addresses this issue, FRESH takes a look at what 
 solutions some people have come up with.  Distressed by the state of our 
 food system, filmmaker Ana Sofia Joanes set out to make a documentary that 
 would shake herself and others out of deer-in-the-headlights inaction.  She 
 found inspiration and hope in the stories of the people she interviewed 
 across the country.  She shines the spotlight on the farmers, journalists, 
 markets, and academics that are working day in and day out to re-invent our 
 food system as something that is healthier, more sustainable, and more 
 accessible to our entire population.  The film is an excellent introduction 
 to food sustainability and it has the potential to reach many people who 
 would never pick up a 400+ page book.  It's an entertaining and well-made 
 film, delightful, humorous, and charming.  \n \nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n \n$5 donations are accepted\n
