Subject: Movie and Chris Bedford Lecture Tuesday April 18
**Please Forward Widely**
This Tuesday, April 18, MSU will have the honor of hosting local
Director
Chris Bedford after showing his recent 30-minute film, "What Will We
Eat?"
This is a new film that reveals the growing crisis in industrial
agriculture
and how a grassroots coalition of consumers and small farmers is
inventing a
healthy, humane, homegrown alternative. Filmed primarily in Michigan,
Iowa,
Pennsylvania and Missouri, "What Will We Eat?" focuses on the success of
the Sweetwater Local Foods Market in Muskegon - Michigan's first farmers
market to exclusively sell local produce raised according to organic
standards and products from animals raised humanely. The story is told
through interviews with John Ikerd, Fred Kirschenmann, Michael Hamm and
John
Biernbaum and the voices and experiences of small farmers and their
customers. The film will play at 7PM in 118 Psychology, followed by a
brief
lecture at 7:30. Hope to see you there!
