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 THREE Featured Film
The Harvest/La Cosecha: Every year more than 400,000 American children are torn away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat. The Harvest/La Cosecha is “the story of the children who feed America.” It profiles three children as they journey from the scorching heat of Texas’ onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards and back south to the humidity of Florida’s tomato fields to follow the harvest.
