Mahalo for Joining us for the Poisoning Paradise Film Festival!
Thanks to all who participated in the Poisoning Paradise Film Fest!
It was an action packed three weeks of exploring the complexity of our food systems, the impacts of industrial pesticide use on frontline communities, and the ways in which grassroots community-led movements are taking back their foodways from corporate control to create a more just and regenerative food future. We hope you found the panel discussions as informative and inspiring as we all did.
Our sincere gratitude to all our wonderful panelists and moderators for sharing their stories and wisdom! Thanks to all who organized screenings, as well as our partners and co-sponsors.
If you missed any of the panels its not too late! All the recordings, along with additional links and resources about our panelists campaigns and organizations are available on the Poisoning Paradise Film Festival website.
