Fresh Film Screening and Discussion

See the free screening of the film Fresh on Wednesday, April 14, at the Howe Library in Hanover, New Hampshire. Fresh is a film that celebrates the farmers, thinkers, and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Forging healthier, sustainable alternatives, they offer a practical vision for a future of our food and our planet. See the film and join us for the post-film discussion!

First come, first served. Standing room only after 100 people. No preregistration required.

Real People Making a Difference

Fresh features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.

How to Get Involved

Rather than screen the film in theaters in a few cities, the creators of Fresh have created a very different distribution model. They would like to put the 70-minute film into your hands so that you may use it as a tool to inspire and educate those around you. You have the capability of purchasing a screening license and creating the event that you think would benefit your community.
