Fall Film Weekend: Fork in the Road

  • The Dance Hall 7 Walker Street Kittery, ME, 03904 United States (map)

The Dance Hall, in collaboration with Vacationland Films, presents a weekend of documentary films each with a panel available for Q&A's.

FORK IN THE ROADsheds light on the struggles and resilience of small-scale farmers and communities working around an unjust food system. It highlights how conventional agriculture, climate change, and economic inequality impact independent farmers.

Through the lens of both land and sea, the film explores regenerative approaches that prioritize building healthy soil and restoring ocean health as ways to mitigate climate change. We will illustrate how we can heal the planet while feeding ourselves, suggesting that a shift toward sustainability and justice, whether on land or in the ocean, is essential for our future.

The characters in the film represent the diverse struggles faced by farmers, activists, and communities working around a broken food system. From a family in Henry County, Kentucky, who fight to sustain their farm after losing a dairy contract with a corporate giant, to an Alaskan indigenous kelp farmer, to Latina farmers facing economic and social inequities in California, their stories reflect the broader issues of access to land, capital, and fair markets.

FORK IN THE ROAD shows how change is not only possible, but necessary - for a thriving, equitable world. And it can be delicious, so let’s eat!
