February 18th - The Seeds of Vandana Shiva
How did the wilful daughter of a Himalayan forest conservator become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva tells the remarkable life story of Gandhian eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to prominence in the seed saving and organic food movements, and is inspiring an international crusade for change.
In her colourful sari and large scarlet bindi, Dr. Vandana Shiva is an arresting presence: She galvanizes crowds, advises government leaders, fields constant calls from the media—then retreats from big-city buzz to work alongside small farmers across the developing world.
The Long Table are delighted to be partnering with Stroud Film Festival to host this screening of The Seeds of Vandana Shiva, a film which resonates so strongly with their aim of increasing local food resilience and putting food at the centre of the community. They will be serving a pre-screening delicious bowl, Long Table style, which will of course be pay-as-you-can.
Tickets for the film screening have been costed at the price of paying a meal forward for someone in need, in our community.
