Film: Follow the Drinking Gourd

In celebration of African American History Month, we've partnered with New Mexico Healthy Soil on a virtual viewing of the documentary film Follow the Drinking Gourd directed by Shirah Dedman. This film is about the Black food justice movement, focusing on the personal power of gaining connection with our food. It communicates often touching stories of people growing urban food gardens and what the experience of growing and sharing that food with others means to them. Following the film there was be a panel moderated by Sunshine Muse, Executive Director of Black Health New Mexico and including filmmaker Shirah Dedman, Saleema Robinson, Local Agriculture Community Coordinator for the City of Albuquerque, and Shahid Mustafa, Taylor Hood Farms. If you missed this event, you can watch the film here and view the recording of the panel here.
