FRESNO– Film Screening Friday, December 1 at 5:30 p.m. Peter’s Education Center Auditorium west of Save Mart Center in the Student Recreation Center Building) December 1: Evolution of Organic (2016) Panel Discussants: Mark Kitchell (Director) Tony Azevedo, Tom Willey, Glenn Anderson, Joe Soghomonian and Bryce Loewen. Directed by Mark Kitchell’s (Berkeley in the Sixties, A Fierce Green Fire), Evolution of Organic is the story of organic agriculture, told by those who built the organic movement in California. 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 is 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 between an industry oriented toward bringing organic to all people and a movement that has realized a vision of sustainable agriculture. It is the most popular and successful outgrowth of the environmental impulse of the last fifty years. Evolution of Organic is not just history, but also a look into an exciting and critical future. Several local organic Central Valley farmers are featured in the film, including our own Tom Willey and David “Mas” Masomoto. 77 minutes. http://evolutionoforganic.com/ All films screened on campus are free and open to the public.
