Arlene Francis Center for Spirit, Art and Politics Presents
An Occupy Sonoma County March Against Monsanto Screening of Sunú - a documentary film about the struggle of Mexican farmers to grow traditional non-gmo corn Thursday, May 18, 7-9 PM. Arlene Francis Center, 99 W. 6th St., Santa Rosa 95401 Free with donations welcome Pay-What-You-Can Plant Sale and Free Seed Exchange (bring your extra seeds to share) The birthplace of corn is central Mexico, where it is known as maize. Maize has deep spiritual and cultural value for the people of Mexico. Now maize and the values it represents are under attack by the corporate scoundrel, Monsanto. The award-winning, internationally acclaimed movie SUNÚ documents this struggle. “Corn is a way of being, an identity embodied by the indigenous people and by the farming communities of Mexico”, from the movie SUNÚ. Learn how this treasure is threatened and could be lost for all time. This event is part of the global March Against Monsanto - a call to action with 3.5 million people participating in 600 protests internationally aimed at informing the public about the long-term health risks of genetically modified foods.
