This Tuesday, April 7th for one night only, Occupy The Farm Film will be
screening at the* Grand Theater *at 6:30 pm.

This film by director,Todd Darling, tells the story of 200 urban farmers
who walk onto a publicly owned research farm and plant it with two acres of
crops in order to save the land from becoming a real-estate development.

The film captures an intense conflict over one piece of land. Compelling
characters on both sides of the battle create a remarkable narrative in
which community members employ an ingenious strategy to confront a powerful
institution in the effort to preserve public land for urban farming.

From preparing the soil to police raids, from lawsuits to overflowing

harvests, Occupy the Farm reveals a determined community responding with a
direct action to address a major social need: healthy food and access to
public land- an issue that is becoming increasingly important in this day
and age.
