Film Screening: Our Daily Bread
Friday, July 25, 2008
7:00pm-9.30pm
Make the Road NY
301 Grove Street, Brooklyn, 11237

The Bushwick CSA invites us to a film screening of Our Daily Bread. "The film is a beautifully composed, wrenching depiction of industrial agriculture and factory farming. It's not yet available through services like Netflix, and you won't find it at the local video store, so it's a great chance to see it for the first time, perhaps! The movie is educational for those who have been eating sustainably for a long time, and for those who may never have considered changing their eating habits."
