GROWING CITIES

The film, which follows the urban farming movement in America and its potential to revitalize our cities and change the way we eat, has been chosen as an Official Selection of 22 esteemed Film Festivals since its release in the Fall of 2013.

In their search for answers, filmmakers Dan Susman and Andrew Monbouquette take a road trip and meet the men and women who are challenging the way this country grows and distributes its food, one vacant city lot, rooftop garden, and backyard chicken coop at a time.

They discover that good food isn't the only crop these urban visionaries are harvesting; they're producing stronger and more vibrant communities, too. Growing Cities is a journey to an America that believes in a more sustainable, just, and healthy future for all.

The Sea Of GlassCenter For The Arts is also host to the Food For Ascension Café, an all-organic, vegetable-forward restaurant serving fresh cuisine made from locally-sourced ingredients. As part of their "give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat forever" philosophy, Food For Ascension hosts films, demonstrations, classes, lectures and workshops at the Sea Of Glass on locally sourced and naturally grown food and its preparation for the benefit of optimal health, disease prevention and wellness through nutritional education; sponsored by the Soulistic Medical Institute, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.

All ages. 90 min.
