Fian NL: Hungry for Justice
April 23rd, 30th and May 6th, FIAN hosts three film
& debate evenings at the Kargadoor in Utrecht. We will screen short
documentaries on land issues and alternative food systems. After each
screening, we’ll have a discussion with the public about the film and
its theme, led by an expert on the topic. Come and learn more about
these themes and share your ideas.
Thursday April 23rd 19h30: Voices of Transition
Speaker to be announced
Voices of Transition (Nils Aguilar | 2012, 65 min) makes clear that
current and impending crises, like soil erosion, climate change and
dwindling natural resources, are, in fact, positive challenges. We see
how groundbreaking initiatives in France, Cuba and the UK are achieving
more local resilience: the ability to withstand shocks.
Thursday April 30th 19h30: Food Chains
Speaker to be announced
Food Chains (Sanjay Rawal | 2014, 86 min) reveals the human cost in our
food supply and the complicity of large buyers of produce like fast
food and supermarkets. They have tremendous power over the agricultural
system. Over the past 3 decades they have drained revenue from their
supply chain leaving farmworkers in poverty and forced to work under
subhuman conditions.
Wednesday May 6th 19h30: Resistencia
Speaker to be announced
Resistencia: The Fight for the Aguán Valley (Jesse Freestone | 2015, 90
min) follows several leaders of the farmers’ resistance movement in the
northern coast of Honduras as they build up their new communities on
occupied land and fight against one of the country’s largest landowner.
The film tackles the historical exploitation of farmers and their
natural resources, at the expense of national and international economic
interests.
