Among all the films on food and farming, Evolution of Organic is the first
to tell the story of the organic movement.  How it started, who the people
were who bravely initiated it, and how it literally changed the way we eat
and grow food.

In this funny and engaging film, narrated by Academy Award winner Frances
McDormand, you will learn about the organic agriculture movement, past,
present, and future.  Not just a history, Evolution of Organic explores an
exciting future and the next generation of growers who are broadening the
definition of organic, with things like no-till farming, urban farming,
permaculture, and carbon farming as a solution to climate change.  Come
share the fascinating journey and all the personalities who made it happen.

Mark Kitchell is an acclaimed filmmaker interested in the social movements
of our time and how they shift culture.  It was no accident that California,
home of the world's most industrialized agriculture, also gave rise to its
opposite - organic agriculture.  The '60s counter-culture headed back to the
land, determined to grow safe and healthy food.  Few had any farming
experience; but they experimented and learned, and in time became
extraordinarily good farmers.  

In addition to Evolution of Organic, Kitchell' s earlier films include the
iconic Berkeley in the Sixties, which was nominated for an Academy Award;
and Fierce Green Fire, an exploration of environmental activism from
conservation to present day climate change issues.  Kitchell will be in
attendance for questions and discussion at the event.

Invited as guests to be honored at the film premiere will be organic growers
and farmers from the Santa Barbara region, many who were instrumental in
launching the organic movement.  After the film will be time for discussion
about the future of organics, who the emerging farmers are in our area, and
what assistance is needed for their success.  We will also take a moment of
gratitude for all our local farmers who kept growing on our behalf, during
the stressful fire & flood events in recent weeks.    

The event takes place on Thursday, March 8, 2018, 7-9pm, at the Marjorie
Luke Theatre, 721 E. Cota St, Santa Barbara, CA 93103, with plenty of off
street free parking.   Tickets available at the door, or online at

 It started with a motley crew of back-to-the-landers rejecting industrial
farming. It went on to spawn a renewed connection with our food and land.

presents a celebration of Californian organic farming told by the people
that started it all and onto a new generation who continue to reinvent the
food system.
