FRESH, the Movie
Supper (optional), film & post-film discussion
6:00 - 8:30 pm
Friday, January 29

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.
6:00 supper (optional); 7:00 film (run time 72 minutes); post-film dialog with food policy experts.
Market Square Presbyterian Church, 20 South 2nd Street, Harrisburg. Complimentary parking available at the church’s garage next door.

Film Review

“FRESH offers an uplifting look at what happens when farmers, business people, and the community band together to get involved in their own food production. If you’re still recovering from last summer’s Food, Inc., this may be the movie for you.” – Village Voice
