Event Details
We’re thrilled to be sharing the screen for a night with Sanjay Rawal, Director of Food Chains and one of our fantastic Real Food Films advisors. Hosted by Real Food Films anchor school, Occidental College, the night guarantees a whole lot of Real Food storytelling prowess will collide.
Join us with faculty hosts John Lang and Ari Laskin, along with Joann Lo of Food Chain Workers Alliance as we debut the Voices of the Food Chain project in Los Angeles and launch the third year of Real Food Films, our international short films contest featuring stories about food, farming and sustainability.
6:00-8:30pm: Choi Auditorium (Johnson 200), Occidental College
Join us for a screening of Food Chains, followed by sneak peek at the new Voices of the Food Chain video and a Q&A discussion with Sanjay Rawal, Anna Lappé, and Joann Lo about the intersection of labor and the food system.
Oxy Cinematheque Presents:
In Food Chains, an intrepid group of Florida farmworkers battle to defeat the $4 trillion global supermarket industry through their ingenious Fair Food program, which partners with growers and retailers to improve working conditions for farm laborers in the United States.
Following the screening there will be a Q &A and panel discussion with the director Sanjay Rawal. Anna Lappé of Real Food Media and Joann Lo of the Food Chain Workers Alliance will be speaking about the launch of our new Voices of the Food Chain series featuring portraits and StoryCorps conversations among farmworkers, warehouse and distribution workers, line cooks, servers, and more across the food chain.
Brought to you by the generous support of Occidental Colleges’ Sociology and Art History & Visual Arts departments, The Remsen Bird Fund, Media Arts & Culture Program, OxyArts, and the Sustainability Initiative.
