Location

Join Cleveland's Fair Farm Bill Campaign, Community Greenhouse Partners and Arts Collinwood for a free screening of FRESH, a compelling documentary about our food system.

FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Each has witnessed the rapid transformation of our agriculture into an industrial model, and confronted the consequences: food contamination, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, and morbid obesity. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.

Arts Collinwood Bar and Cafe opens at 5 pm—come early and grab some delicious food or drink. Movie will start at 6:45 pm, and the run time is approx. 74 minutes. Discussion and action planning will follow.
