FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing the 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.
*June 7 - In honour of inspiring more businesses in Burlington to Go Green we present: So Right So Smart: an award-winning film showcasing the success and ingenuity of companies that have proved what’s good for the Earth can also improve profitability. " The messages are delivered with humor, reality, despair and hope. It reaches all emotional receptors, making the film empowering." 'Margaret Ulrich'
*September 20: In honour of the United Nations Decade on Biodiversity we present: Call of Life:Facing the Mass Extinction: "A beautiful and informative film that is also a call to action. Call of Life features in-depth analysis with thought-provoking interviews of articulate scientists, environmentalists, and visionaries. With alarming data about the Earth's rapidly dwindling plant and animal populations-and the skyrocketing rate of extinction—this film tells us that we as humans have to change the way we are living."
