EVOLUTION OF ORGANIC (1h 17min, 2016)

12:15pm

EVOLUTION OF ORGANIC brings us the story of organic agriculture, told by those who built the movement. A motley crew of back-to-the-landers, spiritual seekers, and farmers' sons and daughters rejected modern chemical farming and set out to invent organic alternatives.

 

SHARECROP (1h 30min, 2017)

5:30pm

Featuring intimate interviews with elders and rare archival footage, SHARECROP conveys what life was really like growing cotton in the Mississippi Delta or tobacco in the Carolinas, and highlights the resilience of sharecroppers in the segregation era.

7:00pm

New England's dairy farmers remain the backbone of the region's agriculture but fight for survival in an age of artisan cheese and baby greens. Q&A with FORGOTTEN FARMS filmmaker Sarah Gardner and Henry Art of Williams College after the screening.
