Mixed Greens Monthly Screening Series - Planet in Focus
This great green event is over now!
Friday January 29th
Grown in Detroit
Netherlands, 60 min
Back in the days when the auto industry was booming Motown was the model city, where the working class moved into the middle class. Now Detroit is a city of vacant lots and dangerous gangs; a city where finding fresh food and public transit are challenges. It's the last place you'd think of for a green revolution with teen moms at the wheel. Welcome to the Catherine Ferguson Academy where classes and childcare go hand in hand. Students learn planting, harvesting and bee-keeping on an urban farm and must figure out how they can profit from the fruits of their labour. The future is bright for these young moms - as future farmers cultivating healthy food for the residents of Detroit. With 500,000 pregnant girls in the US dropping out lets hope more of these schools sprout as well.

How we are trying to make this event "green":
Since 1999, Planet in Focus has been producing Canada's preeminent international environmental film and video festival. We have been promoting environmental artistic expression in the form of film, video and new media to frame and explore environmental and ecological issues as a catalyst for awareness, discussion and action. Our mission is to encourage the creation and exhibition of a broad spectrum of films and videos exploring environmental themes that celebrate, question and establish varied ways of viewing the state of our world. |
