Wed 8/27 @ 6:30PM
As we’ve been bombarded by agricultural “miracle” solutions like genetically modified organisms (GMOs), growth hormones, and preventive antibiotics in livestock, healthy food activists have been fighting back.
One of the ways they’ve been doing so is through documentary films depicting these practices and what they can lead to, films like Resistance, a 2012 film featuring a raft of experts and activists explaining how use of antibiotics in livestock farming in order to ward off bugs passed among animals raised in confined and crowded conditions can lead to increased resistance and the rise of “superbugs.”
Food & Water Watch, along with the Coit Road Farmers Market, the Ohio Environmental Council, and Women Speak Out for Peace and Justice, is sponsoring a free screening of the film at the Capitol Theater in Gordon Square. There will be groups on hand with information about what you can do to help pass the Food & Water Watch resolution which Cleveland has already done under the sponsorship of councilman Joe Cimperman.
