Please join Center for Biological Diversity for their second annual Food Justice Film Festival featuring four powerful films that explore agriculture and climate change, the colonization of food, exploitation of farm workers and children, and the importance of saving seeds and traditions.
The FREE online film festival takes place online Sept. 16–19 and features Truly Texas Mexican, The Ants & The Grasshopper, The Harvest/La Cosecha and SEED: The Untold Story. In addition to film screenings, we’re offering panel discussions with the filmmakers, farmers and activists.
