This event is a 98 minute documentary followed by a discussion with Ralph Ghoche and Jeffrey Potent, moderated by Shanny Peer.

Descriptions:

Pierre Rabhi was a farmer, writer, thinker, and international activist. He was one of the pioneers of agroecology in France. This documentary retraces the itinerary of this “wise man,” from the Algerian desert where he was born in 1938, to Ardeche, France, where he and his wife bought land and raised a family while teaching themselves how to tend the land organically, to helping communities learn organic farming practices, including several years spent working in Burkina Faso. This is the inspiring life story of a man of deep reflection and action “on behalf of the earth.”

The film will show in French with English Subtitles
