Events Description
WOMEN WHO DIG showcases Canadian women on a journey to combat food insecurity and the industrial farm system by utilizing traditional farming techniques rooted in ancestral history. The small family farm is often perceived to be an occupation of the past that is being overtaken by large-scale industrial farming practices. Big Ag wreaks havoc on our global climate, all the while creating a GMO monoculture that contributes to an enormous loss of our planet’s biodiversity.
Adapted from the book Women Who Dig: Farming, Feminism, and the Fight to Feed the World by Trina Moyles, this documentary, filmed over the course of three years in cinema veritas, offers an intimate portrait of the lesser-told story of women farmers and land stewards pushing back against industrial practices.
There will be a Q&A before the film screening.
Join Anna Kuelken, Trina Moyles, and the film’s powerhouse cast—five female farmers and land stewards from Western Canada—for a thought provoking discussion on the making of this project as well as vital themes of gender equality, social justice, food sovereignty and climate change, facilitated by poet and author Rayanne Haines.
