About this Event

Unearthing The Soul Of Food

"Unearthing the Soul Of Food" confronts the health disparities plaguing Black communities through the lens of food and healing. This documentary spans over 12 years in the making—a journey of seeing, learning, and fighting for a better quality of life for our people.

The film explores what plant-based foods can do—and undo—to the body, showing how healthier versions of our beloved cultural dishes can transform lives. It addresses the painful reality that many of our health challenges, from diabetes to cancer, are often treatable diseases rooted in eating habits.

With contributions from leading voices like Dr. Milton Mills, the late great Dick Gregory, and Dr. Betty Holston-Smith, this film is both a call to action and a love letter to our communities.
