Join the FOOD FIGHT in Chester

Benefiting the Chester Sunday Market, FOOD FIGHT, the documentary, will make its Connecticut premier at the Norma Terris Theater in Chester on Sunday, June 12th at 1:30pm. 

FOOD FIGHT is a provocative film that delves into the American agricultural policy and food culture of the 20th century.  As a result, a counter-revolution against large agribusiness is growing with the creation of the local, organic, sustainable food market. 

"Four out of ten chronic diseases are food-related in their origins. The food we buy today at the supermarket is lower in taste and nutrition and higher in fat and salt since 1960," states the film. 

"We have power through our food choices to put the culture back in American agriculture... if just one meal is made with a mind to the small farmer, the land, and the environment, then we can all make a huge difference, one meal at a time."

The film's director, Chris Taylor, will lead a Q&A session afterwards to discuss topics featured in the film. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the Chester Sunday Market host tent or at the theater on the day of the event.

The Norma Terris Theater is located at 33 Main Street in Chester.
