Join us for a FREE viewing of Environmental Justice is Food Sovereignty on Wednesday, Feb. 25 from 6-8pm at Independent Picture House.
This documentary explores how access to healthy, affordable, and culturally relevant food is deeply connected to environmental justice, health, and community stability. Through local voices and real experiences, the film sheds light on food deserts, the quality of food available in under-resourced neighborhoods, and the barriers many families face when trying to make healthy choices. It also highlights community-led solutions, including urban farming and neighborhood organizing, that are working to reclaim food systems from the ground up.
For community members, this documentary is meant to be both affirming and empowering. It reflects lived experiences that are often overlooked, while also showing that change is possible when communities lead the way. Viewers will leave with a stronger understanding of how food access connects to larger systems like housing, health, and economic opportunity, and with renewed motivation to support and participate in efforts that build healthier, more resilient neighborhoods.
