1) Food for the Future

FOOD FOR THE FUTURE tells the story of the founding of the pioneering Floyd Boulevard Local Foods Market (Sioux City, IA) - the first farmers market in the nation to exclusively sell humanely raised animal products and organic/chemical free produce. This 12 minute film demonstrates how one community is "Breaking the Chains" by prioritizing local, organic and fair wages for farmers. In an era of Wal-Mart and the "Big Box" takeover of our food supply and local communities, the Floyd Boulevard Local Foods Market provides an antidote. Click here for more information.

6) The Future of Food - Temporarily out of stock

"The Future of Food" provides an in-depth investigation and critique of genetically engineered foods and crops, including interviews with farmer activists such as Percy Schmeiser. According to the Telluride Daily Planet, "This stylish film is not just for food faddists and nutritionists. It is a look at something we might not want to see: Monsanto, Roundup and Roundup-resistant seeds, collectively wreaking havoc on American farmers and our agricultural neighbors around the world. In the end, this documentary is a eloquent call to action." Click here for more information.
