Documentary: SEEDS OF CHANGE to air on Connecticut Public Television
April 15 @ 9:00 pm
An organic farmer in Maine sets out to transform the Prison food system. Filmed over the course of two-years, Seeds of Change chronicles the intersecting stories of lifelong farmer Mark McBrine and several incarcerated men as they grow their own food on a five-acre prison garden unlike any other.
Nick Callanan, Director of the Maine Outdoor Film Festival called it “a complex piece of narrative-building, such an elevated work,” and Governor Janet Mills said “I am proud of this work…Seeds of Change is fundamentally a story of hope.” Seeds of Change premiered at the 2023 Maine International Film Festival and has gone on to receive numerous accolades and awards across the country, including the Human Rights Award at the Mystic Film Festival, in Connecticut.
In a place where life is routinely defined by shame and despair, good food can be a gateway to meaning, wellness, and dignity. Discover the power of using organic agriculture as a means to reform our food systems and change the course of people’s lives. Learn more at seedsofchangefilm.com.
