Food Justice Film Series Kickoff

This Friday will be the first day of CRAVE's Food Justice Film Series fundraiser. For the next three weeks we'll be playing documentaries at various places around the city about the problems in our food systems and how we can change it every Friday.
This week we're starting off with the film Bananas!* (www.bananasthemovie.com/). The film deals with Dole's exploitation of workers in Nicaragua in order to provide us with cheap fruit. We'll lead a discussion after the movie that should be lively.

This week we'll be hosted by the awesome and delicious (as demonstrated below) Hillside Quickies vegan restaurant just off the ave (4106 Brooklyn Avenue).
