DESCRIPTION:Movie Night! Food Chains: The Revolution in America’s 
 Fields\n\nDiscussion to follow the film. Discussion leader to be 
 announced.\nFilm is 52 minutes\n\nThere is more interest in food these days 
 than ever, yet there is very little interest in the hands that pick it. 
 Farmworkers, the foundation of our fresh food industry, are routinely 
 abused and robbed of wages. In extreme cases they can be beaten, sexually 
 harassed or even enslaved – all within the borders of the United 
 States.\n\nFood Chains reveals the human cost in our food supply and the 
 complicity of large buyers of produce like fast food and supermarkets. Fast 
 food is big, but supermarkets are bigger – earning $4 trillion globally. 
 They have tremendous power over the agricultural system. Over the past 3 
 decades they have drained revenue from their supply chain leaving 
 farmworkers in poverty and forced to work under subhuman conditions. Yet 
 many take no responsibility for this.\n\nThe narrative of the film focuses 
 on an intrepid and highly lauded group of tomato pickers from Southern 
 Florida – the Coalition of Immokalee Workers or CIW – who are 
 revolutionizing farm labor. Their story is one of hope and promise for the 
 triumph of morality over corporate greed – to ensure a dignified life for 
 farm workers and a more humane, transparent food chain.\n\n
