Dolores

Peter Bratt/2017/95 min/Social Justice, Sustainable Agriculture, People

Earth Day, Thursday, April 22
6:30 p.m. CDT

FILM DESCRIPTION: Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at age 90. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change. This Sundance selection has won best documentary at the Seattle International Film Festival and the Denver Women & Film Festival. Teens and young adults encouraged to attend.

Tickets available to North American viewers only.

To Which We Belong

To Which We Belong

Pamela Tanner Boll/2021/91 min/Agriculture, Climate Change

Sunday, April 25, 3 p.m. CDT
Double Fest, Double Feature!

FILM DESCRIPTION: This event is part of our Sunday Double Fest, Double Feature with Sixth Festival! Science is showing that if we draw down enough carbon from the sky back into the soil through regenerative agricultural practices, we can actually reverse climate change bringing carbon dioxide down to pre-industrial revolution levels.

“To Which We Belong” tells the stories of nine farms and ranches going against the grain to bravely leave behind practices that are no longer profitable or sustainable. These unsung heroes just might save their livelihoods—and our world itself. And in this time of turmoil, it might be the best news you receive all year.

Tickets available to U.S. viewers only.
