Join us as Woven Roots Farm participates in the virtual kick-off of Berkshire International Film Festival’s popular Environmental Film Focus Series with an inspirational film screening.

Following the screening, there will be a lively expert panel discussion led by Lillian Lennox, which includes the film’s director Sanjay Rawal; Danielle Hill, founder of Heron-Hill LLC; and Jen Salinetti, co-founder, farmer, and Director of Education & Community Engagement at Woven Roots Farm & Education Center.

The film is an intimate portrait of a growing movement among Indigenous Americans to reclaim their spiritual and cultural identities through obtaining sovereignty over their ancestral food systems, while battling against the historical trauma brought on by centuries of genocide.

GATHER follows Nephi Craig, a chef from the White Mountain Apache Nation (Arizona), opening an Indigenous café as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation (South Dakota), conducting landmark studies on bison; and the Ancestral Guard, a group of environmental activists from the Yurok Nation (Northern California), trying to save the Klamath River.
