This is one of the first programs organized by Pueblo. Project Hope is generously donating the space.

Organic Hero or Bioterrorist?

I got some email from Slow Food Boston. They are doing a film screening series. Their next film is called Michael Schmidt: Organic Hero or Bioterrorist. It is about a man in Canada who dared to try to sell raw milk. His farm was surveilled by 25 police officers, and was ultimately raided. As we know these days, the difference between a terrorist and a freedom-fighter is often a matter of perspective.

Price Foundation will be there for Q&A.
