Two Foodie Films Playing This Week - Lunch Line & Farmageddon

This Thursday Slow Food San Francisco and Applegate Farms present the documentary Lunch Line (2011), which “takes a new look at the school lunch program by exploring its past, its current challenges, and its opportunities for the future. The National School Lunch Program began in 1946, and now, more than 60 years later, the program feeds more than 31 million children every day. In the film, leaders from all sides of the school food debate, including government officials, school foodservice experts, activists, and students, weigh in on the program and discuss ways to continue nourishing America's children for another 60 years.”

Lunch Line plays at The Presido Theatre, Thursday September 22, 6pm

On Friday night The Roxie will screen Farmageddon, a film that “tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why. Filmmaker Kristin Canty’s quest to find healthy food for her four children turned into an educational journey to discover why access to these foods was being threatened.” 

Farmageddon plays at The Roxie, Friday September 23, 7pm
