One Screening only - 31st May, 7.00pm

“We’re eating World War 2's leftovers!” For the past 70 years chemical agriculture has been waging war on life.

This is the story of how corporate agribusiness is taking over the world’s food production revealed through historical archival footage, and shows how this system is destroying people’s health, economies and the ecology of the world.
Filmed on location in India, USA, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia THE WORM IS TURNING shows through amazing examples of ecological farming that in fact small ecological farms are more productive, they can feed more people better, and at the same time restore the environment. e c o l o g i c a l f a r m i n g is THE REAL REVOLUTION.

Working with Hokitika’s Regent Theatre, Hokitika's Green Team has arranged for the film “The Worm is Turning – Ecological Farming, the Real Revolution” to be screened on Wednesday 31st May, preceded by a seed swap and followed up with a chat and a cuppa.

The documentary shows where the current corporate model of chemical, monoculture style farming comes from, and how it was spread around the world, using India as the prime example. 
The film shows amazing examples of farmers from India, to USA to Australia, demonstrating a better method of farming, both for human health and for a better environment, one that is sustainable and restorative. Study after study has shown that small, ecological farms are in fact more productive and efficient with resources, and are the best model going forward.


Please come and join us to watch the film and discuss the issues and take the opportunity to put questions and ideas to the team for future Green Columns.
