The Buy Fresh Buy Local Northeast Region Chapter invites you to see the exclusive local screening of FRESH, a documentary film that brings new thinking about what we are eating. FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. FRESH addresses an ethos that has been sweeping the nation and is a call to action America has been waiting for.

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 Walmart dominated economy.

The film will be shown on Friday, January 22, 2010 at 7 p.m in the Moskovitz Theater, DeNaples Center Room 401. Cost is $5 per person, $3 for Buy Fresh Buy Local Members, and students are admitted free with a valid ID. Reservations are required; please call 941-7588 to reserve your seat.
