Jun 13 – Food For Change [Film & Forum]

Saturday, June 13
7:00pm
Park Circle Film Society
4820 Jenkins Ave, North Charleston, South Carolina 29415

Food for Change tells the little-known story of the cooperative movement in the United States from the Great Depression to the present. The film examines the key role played by consumer-led food co-ops during the decades-long debate over profit-driven capitalism vs. locally-controlled economic enterprises.

A Q&A will follow the film featuring:

Weatherly Thomas, third generation owner/operator of Truluck Farms in Timmonsville. She is also the former Executive Director of the SC Fruit, Vegetable and Specialty Crop Growers Association and SC Association of Farmers Markets.

Wendy Hermance helped PCF coordinate this screening. From 1976-1979 she was one of three paid staff managing the 2500-member Columbia Community Grocery food co-op in Columbia, MO.

Chris Miller urban farmer and owner of Sow Seasonal, LLC is dedicated to developing a business model that addresses food sovereignty and creates a regenerative environment.

George Nelson operates Sweetbay Produce & Nursery, a state-of-the-art, commercial hydroponic farm in Huger, SC. Sweetbay’s products can be found in many fine Charleston restaurants.
