"The New Farmer" May 13, 2008 at 7:30 pm

Come join us for a viewing, celebration and discussion of the working version of our film

May 13th, 20087:30 pm
Letelier Theater, Georgetown
3251 Prospect St, NW Courtyard

Many of you know that last summer, the three of us started out on our bikes with video equipment strapped to our backs. The objective was to bike from our home
in Washington, D.C. to Montreal, Canada and interview individuals who are involved with sustainable agriculture. All up and down the east coast, we talked to dozens of people involved with urban agriculture, food security organizing, youth programming, immigrant farming, local food networks; all of whom defined themselves as farmers.

Our film is a compliation of profiles of "The New Farmer", a critical profession in this day and age when peak oil, climate change, issues of international trade and general nutrition are all topics coming to a head at once. We speak to the changing definition of the farmer - away from monoculture and industrial farming - as a positive trend to be shared and celebrated.

We want to share our film with you! And have a discussion about how this all relates to DC. You will also be helping us finance the final production. Please purchase a $10-20 ticket at the door - May 13th. We will show the film, share in discussion, and
enjoy refreshments.
