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.

DAY TWO Featured Film
The Ants & The Grasshopper: Anita Chitaya has a gift. She can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real. It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognize, and free themselves from, a logic that’s already destroying the Earth.
