Hi Wheatsville friends!

documentyary the Future of Food at the Alamo downtown this week. This 
Sunday at 7 pm, the director Deborah Koons Garcia will be attending the

about Wheatsville. If you haven't seen this film, this is your chance 
to see it with the director in person!

Read on for a description of the film...

THE FUTURE OF FOOD
D. Deborah Koons Garcia 2004 88min. 35mm  THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines 
the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly 
filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the 
prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this 
film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been 
negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, 
government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the 
reason why many people are alarmed about the introduction of 
genetically altered crops into our food supply. THE FUTURE OF FOOD 
examines the complex web of market and political forces that are 
changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control 
the world's food system. THE FUTURE OF FOOD reveals that there is a 
revolution going on in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of 
America, a revolution that is transforming the very nature of the food 
we eat.

DIRECTOR DEBORAH KOONS GARCIA IN PERSON JUNE 12th!
It plays again Wednesday and Thursday at 7 pm.

Hope to see you there on Sunday!!!
