Media That Matters Screening in Burlington, Vermont!
Join us for a special, free screening of four tremendously moving, inspiring, and thought-provoking short films on Tuesday, August 16, at 7PM. The evening kicks off with “After the Harvest,” a 20-minute film narrated by Susan Sarandon about hunger in the coffee-growing
communities of Central America. Rick Peyser of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters will be on hand to discuss los meses flacos, or “the thin months” when coffee farmers are forced to eat less, eat less nutritious foods, or borrow against their future earnings. Coffee Talk magazine says the film is “a masterpiece of visual and emotional documentary that brings forth this crucial issue with absolute clarity. If you care about coffee, you must see this film.”
Following Rick’s Q&A we will screen “Lessons from a Tailor,” “No One Bothered” and “The Last Town;” from the tenth annual Media That Matters™ collection. Please join us for film, coffee, and conversation on Tuesday, August 16 at 7pm. The screenings will be held at Main Street Landing’s Film House Space, 60 Lake Street, in Burlington.
