The Premier showing of What's On Your Plate gets this year's Afro-punk film and music festival off to an exciting start!
*****Free, outdoor screening in Fort Greene Park*****
What's On Your Plate? is a thought-provoking and entertaining documentary about kids, food and politics. Safiyah and Sadie are two 11-year old African-American girls growing up in New York City. Over the course of a year filmaker Catherine Gund follows them as they start to ask - and answer - questions about the food on their plate. Where does it come from? What's in it? Why is it so hard to get healthy meals into schools and what will happen if we don't?

Afro-punk is a platform for the other Black experience, the one we don't see in our media. D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) is the foundation.
