Food, Inc. [2008]

Fast Food Nation [2006]
Wednesday, April 14, 6:30 p.m. – Shirlington Branch Library
Based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Eric Schlosser, the film is a dramatic ensemble piece that looks at the health risks and environmental and social consequences of fast food.

A Community of Gardeners [2010]
Saturday, April 17, 2 p.m. – Central Library Auditorium
A work-in-progress screening of  “A Community of Gardeners,” produced by local filmmaker Cintia Cabib. The documentary explores the vital role of seven community gardens in Washington, D.C., not only as sources of fresh, nutritious food, but as outdoor classrooms, places of healing, centers of social interaction, and oases of beauty and calm in inner-city neighborhoods. The screening will be followed by a Q-and-A with Cabib.
