Watch the trailer. \nFollowing the screening of the films\, we will be joined for a Q&A with Daniel Maingi and Kirubel Teshone\, of Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa\, and Ashley Fent\, of CAGJ’s AGRA Watch Campaign. Their discussion will speak to the current debates over sustainable agriculture and agribusiness in Africa\, in which The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation play a central role. \nAshley Fent is the producer of Rich Appetites. She has 10+ years’ experience as a social-environmental researcher\, writer\, and multimedia content producer. She holds a Ph.D. in Geography from UCLA. \nKirubel Tadele is the communications officer for the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA)\, a partner in the production of Rich Appetites. He has over ten years of experience in environmental advocacy and communication in both Ethiopian and international NGOs \nDaniel Maingi is a science and development practitioner in Kenya with a 15-year career helping bring learning on appropriate and sustainable technologies to Civil Society Organizations in Eastern Africa.

Now\, to save her home from extreme weather\, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real. Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House\, she meets climate sceptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US\, from the rural-urban divide\, to schisms of race\, class and gender\, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe they live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognize\, and free themselves from\, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.” \nRaj Patel co-directed and co-produced the film with Steve James\, amongst others; James is renowned for his 1992 documentary Hoop Dreams. Learn more about the film. \nEvent is free\, but you must register!
