The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture is sponsoring the Ag Arts Film Festival this Sunday, Nov. 4, and Monday, Nov. 5, in the Great Hall of Memorial Union.

Sunday’s film will be the award wining documentary “The Real Dirt on Farmer John.” The film follows the life of John Peterson, owner of Angelic Organics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture operations in the United States. The story starts from Peterson’s youth as he inherited a family farm and continues on through its transformation into a hippy commune and eventually into the CSA that it is today. Following the film, Peterson will lead discussion.

Monday’s film will be “The Train to Nowhere,” which tells the story of a group of undocumented immigrants who were killed after being locked inside  a train car to avoid border patrol. The documentary’s co-producer, Coleen Krantz, will lead discussion afterwards.
