BELLINGHAM– Screening of EVOLUTION OF ORGANIC, Q&A with director

BELLINGHAM, WA– The Bellingham Community Food Co-op and PFC present Evolution of Organic, the true story of how a few rebel farmers birthed a movement that taught us all how to live more sustainably.  Saturday, October 28th + 5:30 pm Pre-screening reception with founders of our local organic movement, Co-op Board Directors, and tasty organic snacks provided by the Co-op + 6:30 pm movie  + Q&A with writer/director Mark Kitchell after the film + Dessert reception in the lobby following the Q&A with an organic treat from the Co-op Bakery From filmmaker Mark Kitchell (Berkeley in the Sixties, A Fierce Green Fire) comes a new film: Evolution of Organic. It’s 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 reject chemical farming and set out to explore organic alternatives. It’s a heartfelt journey of change – from a small band of rebels to a cultural transformation in the way we grow and eat food. By now organic has gone mainstream, split into an industry oriented toward bringing organic to all people and a movement that has realized a vision of sustainable agriculture. It’s the most popular and successful outgrowth of the environmental impulse of the last fifty years.
