Dirt! The Movie

Join us for a showing of the film Dirt: the movie, followed by an introduction to discussion on People’s Tribunal against Monsanto that took place in October.

What is healthy soil? This film will open your eyes to soil as a living organism and how industrial farming impacts on this precious resource. Following the film we shall hear how people from around the world are challenging Monsanto to hold account for products which undermine the soil and the well-being of those who depend on it.

Refreshments provided. All welcome.
