Join us for this special Unlearning Racism conversation as we explore the current status of the agriculture industry. Together, we will watch the Digging In documentary (approximate runtime of 40 minutes), and discuss it with film narrator Masika Henson.

Who controls what we eat? Masika Henson explores the US agricultural system and who controls our food and farmers. We set out to make a film about food, but finished with more questions than answers. The answers we did encounter changed our minds, lifestyles, and approach to food in the United States. From land ownership to corporate control, from the hollowing out of rural America to paying the price of a changing climate, follow your guide Masika Henson as she digs into the American food system in Digging In.

This session will be facilitated by Unlearning Racism hosts Evelyn Wight, Robin Straughan, and Kim Slack. Huge thanks also to Masika Henson for sharing her time and perspectives with us.
