596 Acres, Paper Tiger and Myrtle Village Green will host a double screening of EDIBLE CITY and REROOTING THE MOTOR CITY on Thursday, September 27. FREE. RSVP on facebook if you like!
These two documentaries dig deep into urban agricultural movements fueled by local communities in San Francisco and Detroit.
Filmmakers Andrew Hasse and the Paper Tiger video collective will join us for a discussion after the films.
Edible City is a feature-length documentary film that tells the stories of extraordinary people who are digging their hands into the dirt, working to transform their communities and doing something truly revolutionary: growing local Good Food Systems that are socially just, environmentally sound, and economically resilient.

Screening @ 7:30 p.m. REROOTING THE MOTOR CITY (Detroit)
Weaving together original footage, archival materials and recent interviews, Paper Tiger’s latest documentary explores the radical labor history, philosophy, and action going on behind mainstream Motor City headlines. Local activist and agricultural efforts are seen in tension with gentrifying forces, global restructuring, capitalism and corporate media. This video celebrates Detroit’s transformative creativity and self-determination while keeping an eye on the mechanisms of enclosure and erasure that people all over the world rise up against.
