Organiser's description (via the Center for Biological Diversity):

The Center for Biological Diversity is celebrating our fifth annual virtual Food Justice Film Festival Oct. 24-27. This year's festival will feature four award-winning documentaries exploring the links among the food, environmental, and social justice movements. The festival is completely free and open to the public.

Food justice is environmental justice. Through the free Food Justice Film Festival, we can continue to elevate the conversation around how our unjust food system harms marginalized communities and puts strain on our planet, while giving filmmakers, organizers, activists, and food and farmworkers a space to talk about the incredible work they do.

The week before the festival — starting Oct. 17 — visit the website to watch recorded interviews with filmmakers, activists, and organizers — including legendary labor leader and American civil rights activist Dolores Huerta and food justice advocate, organizer, and community farmer Karen Washington, who coined the term “food apartheid.”

This year's featured films:

DOLORES

The Smell of Money

Into the Weeds

Invisible Valley
