An initiative of the COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE

With major support from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION

When a young scientist learns she has unwittingly aided a destructive plan against the Indian farmers she was supposedly sent to help, she teams up with a local farmer to save the day.

Prior to the film, Katie Ruppel, from Martha’s Vineyard Community Seed Library, will give a presentation entitled:
“Adapting seeds for our Island”


Katie has worked with the school garden program at Island Grown Initiative for 5 years. During that time she attended a seed saving training with Native seeds/SEARCH and there began my love for seed saving! She has focused much of her school programming around seeds – life cycles, pollination, crop diversity, breeding and the general abundance seeds bring to the garden. Katie has been involved with the MV Community Seed Library since day one, and she grew out seeds for a seed company for the first time last year.
