Sustainable Hackney 'In Our Hands' Film Screening, Q&A & Green Drinks
Event Information
Description
This is the first in a series of films Sustainable Hackney will be screening, covering a wide range of sustainability themes.
The Film
In Our Hands is the story of a new kind of farm, a new kind of food and a new kind of society. Food and farming is in crisis but it need not be this way. The industrial food system can be replaced and the film introduces a growing movement of farmers and food workers who are creating vibrant farms, living soils, thriving food markets and a fairer food system for all. Read more about the film here and the Landworkers Alliance, who co-produced the film as a call to action.
Q&A
The film will be followed by a Q&A with a panel of local food growers and campaigners, including VegBox champions; Growing Communities, Sustain’s Campaign Coordinator for Food and Farming Policy; Vicki Hird, and OrganicLea, a food growing permaculture workers' cooperative and teaching enterprise with Ru (who features in the film) and a member of the Landworkers Alliance.
Bar
A bar with snacks will be open from 7.30 to 11pm.
International Earth Hour
You will also be able to mark World Earth Hour as the screening has been organised to coincide.
Entry to the event is free but donations will of course be welcome.
