Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The South Shore YMCA in Hanover, the South Shore Natural Science
Center and Sustainable Hanover are collaborating to empower and
educate healthy eating, sustainability, community connection and
environmental responsibility through a thought-provoking film series
called “/What ARE We Eating?”/
“Our collaborative effort began with an idea to build a garden in
2009” says Kim Engle, Arts and Education Director at the South Shore
YMCA; “we collaborated with Sustainable Hanover and found ourselves
with a portable greenhouse, a successful sustainability fundraising
event and the realization that we need to do more education.”
Sustainable Hanover and the South Shore YMCA continued their joint
efforts with a few small film events, kids’ events and teen events.
In September of 2011, the Y began its official partnership with the
South Shore Natural Science Center and the film series was realized.
The series begins on January 19th at 7:00 p.m. at the South Shore
Natural Science Center with the film /Food Matters/ and continues on
the 3rd Thursday of each month through March. Each month will feature
a different film, discussion, and guest speakers centered around
community, food, nutrition, farming, and sustainability. This
month’s film is:
January 19, 2012
/Food Matters/ — but is it the answer to cancer? This documentary
discusses the possibilities of improving chronic illness with simple
self-care and aims to further jolt the trillion dollar worldwide
so-called ‘sickness industry’ by declaring a range of
scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally.
Nutritionists-turned-filmmakers James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten
Bosch, have produced a bold film based on a challenging and
potentially startling message; that with the right kind of foods,
supplements, and detoxification processes, we can prevent, arrest, and
even reverse chronic illness. “There are simple lifestyle changes
that we as individuals can make to start reversing the increasing
levels of serious illness,” said Bosch.
Stay tuned to ATOTW for details regarding films in February and March!
