Faces of Food: A Documentary Premiere & Community Gathering
About this Event
Join us for the premiere of Faces of Food -- a documentary screening and community gathering that brings the film off the screen and into a room full of the people and organizations it celebrates.
Produced by Night Duck Productions for the Regional Food System Partnership, Faces of Food follows farmers, food workers, and advocates across South Louisiana. Through personal storytelling and on-the-ground perspectives, the film traces how food moves through our region -- and honors the people who make it possible at every step.
