When people imagine the causes for pollution, they probably picture smokestacks instead of tractor trailers. But a new short film showing in Bradenton this weekend explores the harsh environmental impacts of big farming and urges socially conscious foodies to seek out more sustainable cuisine. As part of a Food Revolution Day event at Darwin Brewing Company on Friday, director Susan Rockefeller’s Food for Thought. Food for Life will look at a history of agriculture policy and its impact on the earth from which the gardens grow.

“People need to think more about where this food comes from and who is growing it,” Rockefeller told SRQ, “and also know that they have the power to make significant change both for themselves and the planet.” The movie builds on the premise that demand for heavy amount of food produced quickly led to practices that were both unhealthy and unsustainable. But new technology and better farming practices, along with a growing food revolution set upon local sourcing for food picked up at the market or purchased off a restaurant menu, can help to restore clean and balanced living and dining.

Geraldson Community Farm and Darwin Brewing Company, both businesses strong voices in local food culture, will host the food revolution event, where there will also be a program with Geraldson and Polpo Pizza encouraging getting children involved with cooking and learning about vegetables. Rockefeller’s film will screen during the children’s program. The event costs $25 for a family, including a pie, a beer a movie and a spot in the pizza class. The event runs from 6-9pm.
