We hope you remember the documentary series “Roots So Deep”, which ran at WICA earlier this year. The ideas in those films inspired a lot of deep digging conversation, and even ACTION, here in our very own Whidbey community. We’re hoping to repeat this kind of reflective experience with a totally different kind of film. “Food & Country,” will begin showing at WICA.

This go ‘round, it’s not so much a film about farming approaches but about the choices we make as a society when it comes to food. It’s the first film we’ve seen that talks about the “cost and value” of food. At the end of the movie, Ruth Reichl says food has always been social, and political, but it’s so much more. “Food shows us our values. How we grow and make our food tells us who we are as a nation, who we are as human beings.”

We think “Food & Country” will give you hope, that it will inspire you to action, and that it will leave you with more questions than answers, which in our day-to-day world of training farmers and eaters is exciting! Save the dates. More details to come!
