GREENING_THE_REVOLUTION_TRAILER.mov

"Greening the Revolution" investigates today's globalized, profit-centered food system -- while agribusiness reaps record wealth, starving protesters cry for affordable food and peasants choose between land and death. But this feature documentary goes further, providing proof that farmers and workers are organized and fighting back, while implementing their own sustainable alternatives. $20,000 produced this independent film by first-time director, Katie Curran. For her thesis as a student in Northern Arizona University's Master of Sustainable Communities program, Curran, 32, backpacked through Mexico, Cuba, India, Kenya, Zambia, Brazil, Haiti and the United States to capture intimate footage of food crisis and justice, with interviews from farmers, workers and activists, government and corporate officials, and intellectuals such as Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Noam Chomsky.
