THE FUTURE OF FOOD
FILM EVENT AT THE 6/15 GARDEN
6Th AVENUE AND 15TH STREET
A documentary film by Deborah Garcia
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today. [Running Time: 88min.]
Come out to the 6/15 Green community garden for the film showing followed by a discussion and Q and A with garden member and the creator of the educational curriculum for the film, Joshua Muldavin.
