The multiple-award-winning food documentary, FOOD FIGHT, will be screening at the Crest Theater on March 24th. There will be a Q&A panel afterwards with James Beard Award-Winning chef Suzanne Goin (of Tavern, Lucques, AOC, and Hungry Cat), Evan Kleiman (host of KCRW's "Good Food"), Russ Parsons (author and Food Editor of the LA Times), director Chris Taylor, and organic farmer Thetis Sammons.
FOOD FIGHT tells the story of how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement rebelled against big agribusiness to launch the local organic food movement. The film stars Alice Waters, Michael Pollan, Marion Nestle, Wolfgang Puck, Suzanne Goin, MacArthur Genius Grant Winner Will Allen, and 20 other interviews. Uniquely among food films currently in release, FOOD FIGHT is a positive celebration of the relationship of farmers, chefs, consumers, and activists in the economics of how our food is grown. VARIETY called the film "well-intentioned and informative...with an abundance of personality." LA WEEKLY said "Chris Taylor's cheeky documentary serves up the history and politics of how America eats in a breezy, amusing way."
Tickets for the screening can be bought ahead of time at the event website: www.indiedocs.net or at the theatre box office on Wednesday.
FOOD FIGHT is screening as part of the "Something to Talk About" documentary film screening series, a unique independent series of films that are meant to provoke conversation about positive change in society. The films will screen monthly at the Crest Theater in Westwood. The next film in the series will be "Revolution Green" in April. Crest Theater: 310-474-7824
