Coming to Baltimore: "Fresh," a film about food

There have been a lot of films, books and lectures recently about what's wrong with American agriculture. Well, now you can get all the info in one place.

The Creative Alliance at the Patterson (3134 Eastern Ave. in Baltimore) is screening "Fresh," a film about the food chain and was to improve things.

The film by ana Sofia joanes (that's the way she writes it), is presented by the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, the Rodgers Forge Farm Initative and Hamilton Crop Circle.

The Creative Alliance describes the film this way: "Hear the stories of farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system: urban farmer, activist, and 2008 MacArthur 'Genius' Award fellow, Will Allen; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin (from Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma); and supermarket owner, David Ball, who is creating a new market model for family farmers. 'Fresh' offers a call to action... with actionable solutions. Local-food bazaar precedes the screening and a panel discussion w/ local farmers and experts follows."

The show is at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10. A local food bazaar is at 6:30 p.m. And there will be a panel discussion with local farmers and food experts after the film.

 

Go to the Creative Alliance Web site for tickets. They're $12. And in the meantime, check out this video clip:
