With beautiful visuals and inspiring stories, NOURISH, is an important documentary with a distinctly positive vision that explores the story of our food ~ where it comes from, how it affects our health and environment, and how food choices create a ripple effect felt around the world. NOURISH is narrated by actress, Cameron Diaz and features other voices from within the food movement, best-selling author Michael Pollan, Alice Waters, Jamie Oliver and more. We invite the public to view this inspiring film about the 'organic & real food' revolution while learning from panelists who will discuss ways to source local foods, enhance nutrition and the myriad benefits of community & home gardens. "Food is not just fuel. Food is about family, food is about community, food is about identity. And we nourish all those things when we eat well." Michael Polan
The 25-minute, award-winning PBS special film, NOURISH, will be followed by several other film shorts on similar topics as well as a post film discussion led by local experts, including Jamie Cruz of Springdell Farm in Littleton and Frank Strauss, chef/buyer for Whole Foods Market.
