Come join us this Saturday, April 18, 3 p.m., for a screening of the documentary Good Food at the John Baldwin Film and Lecture Series at the EWEB Earth Day Festival. The film premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival last year to enthusiastic audiences in sold out theaters and since then has screened in small theaters, in other film festivals, and many community settings. Filmmakers Mark Dworkin and Melissa Young will attend to introduce the film and participate in discussion of local food following the screening.
Food, where it comes from, how it is grown and processed is becoming more important for everyone, and Good Food introduces us to farmers and ranchers, stores and restaurants that are building a more sustainable food system. For decades small family farmers have been disappearing, but there is new life in the fields, orchards and pastures of the Pacific Northwest, and in the business community to help sustain them. In Good Food we see the beautiful rural landscapes and meet some of the leaders in bringing good food to tables across the region.
