Program Description
Event Details
This popular event features provocative documentaries spotlighting relevant environmental topics facing the planet today. This year's series is made possible through generous support from Peace Health. Clark County Green Neighbors, and Watershed Alliance of Southwest Washington.
This month's film is Farming While Black. Leah Penniman, co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, reflects on the plight of Black farmers in the United States. From the height of Black-owned farms at 14% in 1910 to less than 2% today. Leah and her Soul Fire Farm cohorts help propel a rising generation finding strength in the deep historical knowledge of African agrarianism – and its potential to save the planet.
