The Cornucopia Project will present the documentary film “SEED: The Untold Story” at the Peterborough Community Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 4, at 6 p.m.
“SEED” is an award-winning feature length documentary about the dramatic loss of seed diversity and the future of our food. In the last century, 94 percent of the world’s seed varieties have disappeared. As biotech chemical companies control the majority of our seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed keepers fight a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food. In a harrowing and heartening story, these reluctant heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.
Peterborough was chosen as one of approximately 40 cinemas across the country to premiere the film. The screening is part of the Cornucopia Project’s Food for Thought Film series about food, nutrition, farming, and sustainability held the first Tuesday of each month.
From the filmmakers behind “Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us,” the film features Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, and Winona LaDuke. Executive producers are Marisa Tomei, Marc Turtletaub, and Phil Fairclough.
Tickets can be purchased at the door for $9.
