SEED, The Untold Story – Thursday 9 April, 6.30pm
As part of their annual Seed Swap & Shop event, Forest Food Network present the award-winning film about the passionate seed-keepers, farmers and activists who are defending the future of our food. The evening includes panel discussion, Q&A and tasty veggie meal prepared by the kitchen team at The George.
About the film
Few things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds, worshipped and treasured since the dawn of humankind. In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. As biotech chemical companies control the majority of our seeds, SEED: The Untold Story reveals how indigenous seed keepers are fighting a David and Goliath battle to rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.
SEED features Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, Winona LaDuke and Raj Patel.
