This film on Biodynamics in India reveals the hidden battle of marginal farmers to own seeds, to grow diverse crops, to feed themselves and their communities. This film reveals how precarious our existence on this planet is, how flawed the mantra of unlimited growth in a finite world and the reality of what happens to people when we treat them as means of production.
This film will be shown March 24 from 7-9pm at Traditions Fair Trade Cafe, for more information contact Terra Commons: Michael Kelly (360) 866-1331 terracommons@gmail.com www.terracommons.us
