We are excited to welcome you to HGP's annual holiday celebration of our program year. This year, we are excited to welcome noted journalist and author, Eric Schlosser, to join us alongside a screening of Food, Inc. 2, the sequel to the 2008 Oscar®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning documentary film.


Join us at the 418 Project (formerly Riverfront Twin / DNA's Comedy Lab) at 155 River Street. We'll have delicious baked holiday treats generously provided by Dani O Bakeshop and seasonal beverages, along with a selection of HGP's artisinal goods, in addition to Eric's books (which we encourage you to get signed), to help you get a jumpstart on the holiday season. We'll feature a short presentation, and hear from an HGP trainee in addition to Eric Schlosser's presentation.


Join us in envisioning a thriving and inclusive community, workforce and local food system.

About Food Inc. 2:

In Food, Inc. 2, the sequel to the 2008 Oscar®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning documentary Food, Inc., filmmakers Robert Kenner and Melissa Robledo reunite with investigative authors Michael Pollan (The Omnivore’s Dilemma) and Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) to take a fresh look at our vulnerable food system. Since the first film, multinational corporations have tightened their stronghold on US governments, robbed workers of a fair living wage and contributed to the global proliferation of ultra-processed foods along with a chemically formulated international health crisis. The film centers innovative farmers, future-thinking food producers, workers’ rights activists and prominent legislators Senator Cory Booker and Senator Jon Tester who are facing these companies head on to inspire change and build a healthier, more sustainable future.

Food, Inc. 2 is produced by Participant and River Road Entertainment and distributed by Magnolia Pictures.
