Beyond Barriers: the Road to Well Being and Food, Fiber and the Female Farmer
See two of our best films from the 2024 Utopia Film Festival: Beyond Barriers: the Road to Well Being and Food, Fiber and the Female Farmer.
The Road to Well-Being looks at a border town where a Mexican mother and a retired US businessman work together to improve the well being in a border community. The many challenges including severe drought are faced by this small international community of friends working together.
Food, Fiber and the Female Farmer introduces us to a number of long-time Maryland women farmers who display skill, grit, tenacity and good business sense in this crucial local industry.
Both filmmakers will be present for discussion of the issues raised in their outstanding films. Cheryle Franceschi will be with us live in the Cafe and Laura Carlson will join us via Zoom from California.
This monthly event as always is free. Zoom pre-registration is required. We start accepting online registrants at 6:45 and the live program starts at 7PM.
