From Field to Film: A Modern History of Agriculture

There is a revolution happening. A food revolution. Join the movement with the film series, "From Field to Film," a three-part presentation of innovative documentaries aimed at revealing the way local farmers are changing what is on your dinner plate.

All three films will be shown in Hood River, OR at the Columbia Center for the Arts (www.columbiaartgallery.org), which is located at 215 Cascade Ave.

The cost to attend is $7, and tickets will be sold at the door.
