Food Chains Documentary

Dear Reader,

On Monday, October 26 at 7:00pm, IU Cinema will air Food Chains. This documentary looks at the long hours, low pay, and grueling — often abusive — conditions that the modern farm worker faces and how Americans are unknowingly complicit in the exploitation of a vulnerable population. It explores the power of consumers and voters to change this situation as they become more knowledgeable about their food’s origins and pressure corporations and the U.S. government to change the status quo.

The event is free, but ticketed.  More information about the screening can be found at:

 Enjoy the abundance of the season!
