One segment features three local Northeast Indiana culinary businesses: Gunthorp Farms, Hawkins Family Farm and Joseph Decuis Restaurant and their efforts to promote a healthy regional food economy, including their path to victory to keep “chicken on the menu” against troubling proposed state legislation in 2015.
This documentary was inspired by the book, Welfare for the Rich: How your Tax Dollars End up in Millionaire’s Pockets - and What You Can Do About It, by Phil Harvey and Lisa Conyers. Ms. Conyers will be attending the event and can be available for interview upon request.
