Just got word (thanks, Dan!) that Food, Inc., the much-talked-about film documentary about our food system, is going to be playing at Liberty Hall starting Friday. (I mentioned it two weeks ago.) The times and dates posted on the Liberty Hall site are as follows:
Friday & Saturday (July 24-25): 4:30, 7:00, 9:20- Sunday (July 26): 2:10, 4:30, 7:00, 9:20,
- Monday-Thursday (July 27-30): 4:30, 7:00, 9:20
Guess we’ll find out whether the run will last more than week, but Local Burger maven Hilary Brown tells me I have to see it. So I will.
It’s been brought to my attention that there’s an accompanying book—Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It—in case you want it.
If you go, let me know what you think!

Yay-definitely planning to go! Thanks for the heads up that it’s in Lawrence now.
We can’t wait. So much buzz the last couple of months…

Whoa! Are you from Lawrence or at least nearby?
My daughter just alerted me of your posting at Liberty Hall……..only a hop skip and jump away for me.

I’m as excited to see what the turnout will be as I am about the movie. Maybe I’ll see y’all there. And, yes, Pamela, I’m in Lawrence. Love your Gravatar. :)

Went to Fridays matinee - around 27 in attendance. Well worth seeing.

Thanks for the update, Pamela. I’m going to see it tomorrow. I’ll let you know what I think.

Sold out showing tonight. Well presented.
Take a friend, family member or co-worker - small efforts go a long way toward affecting change

So glad to hear that people are watching. There was a decent but not huge crowd Sunday afternoon.
