LAND AWAKENING (Film)

Saturday 16th Jun, 8pm

Inspired by his son’s voyage to learn about organic farming in Spain, Mexican-Canadian filmmaker Raúl Álvarez embarks on his own quest finding how chemical agriculture creates deserts, and wild nature provides far more nutritious foods when we stop controlling it. As he films examples of organic farming in the Mediterranean and Canada, his documentary becomes a personal journey to experience hands-on organic sustainable agriculture, in which alternative technologies and approaches are used to produce and gather food. A spiritual reflection into our deep and sacred relationship with the Land. No cert Suitable for older children with an interest in the topic.

Please note: The director Raúl Álvarez will be at the screening and will hold a Q&A session afterwards.
