Martina Brimmer, Director and Producer
Martina Brimmer was raised in the Mission District in San Francisco by her mother and older sister. During her junior year at the San Francisco Waldorf High School, she discovered both rural organic agriculture and the urban-based social justice movement. Over the past six years both agricultural issues and radical social justice organizing have manifested in a deep connection to urban agriculture and equitable access to food. From West Philadelphia, to Bolivia, to Hopi, and Covelo California, Martina has been dedicated to formal and informal education within the complex realms of small scale, local food production. She is a recent graduate of Prescott College with a BA in Agroecology/Cultural and Regional Studies.
Zora Tucker, Director and Producer

After a few years of working as a teacher, community organizer, video store clerk, and waiter, she went back to school at the Ecosa Institute for Sustainable Design, where she realized she wanted to focus her energy on popular education regarding social and environmental justice, and is returning this fall to graduate school at CalPoly in Pomona for a Master’s in Science in the Regenerative Studies program.
