As part of the Santa Cruz Film Festival documentary filmmaker, Chris Taylor’s film Food Fight was featured on May 12, 2009. The film explores the damage brought on by the industrialization of our current food system. The film promotes the idea of quality over quantity and our right to have fresh healthy food -of course it encourages the viewers to buy local and eat organic. Beautifully shot and well-documented film with notable chefs such as Chez Panisse owner, Alice Waters, Wolfgang Puck, Jeremiah Tower and Suzanne Going are all interviewed.
An after party reception was organized by Kathryn Lukas and held at her Farmhouse Culture Kitchen. Amazing- standing room only and a packed house. It was a great opportunity to celebrate our own abundance of local produce and talented food artisans. All are promoting the same fresh healthy food agenda and a need for change. All food and drink were graciously donated by local producers who truly get it. It was simply amazing! .
