We are excited to announce our new event series for you and your pre-vegan family and friends!

The dinner and a movie event series will showcase impactful films about collective liberation, our beyond-human relatives, and our food system. It will challenge us all to think about how we relate to one another, our relationship to the land, and what it means to protect this Earth, the most vulnerable, and fight for justice.

You will get a chance to network, engage with experts, watch award-winning films, and eat a delicious plant-based meal.

To kick off the series, please join us for an exclusive screening of the award-winning documentary THE SMELL OF MONEY with producer and writer Jamie Berger! This film is only being shown at film festivals, and this is your chance to see it!

About the film:

When a corporate hog farm moves in——uninvited——on land her grandfather had purchased after claiming his freedom from slavery, Elsie Herring decides to fight back. But as her rural community becomes the epicenter of the pork industry’s explosion in America, Elsie’s struggle to save her family’s home and heritage turns into a battle against one of the world’s most powerful companies and its deadly pollution.

A story about the power of love for one’s family and community to triumph over even the largest forces of injustice, The Smell of Money calls upon viewers to see the people behind what’s on our plates——and to join the fight for a better future for us all.
