Few things on earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds. Join Sustainable Fairfax for a screening of the award winning film, “SEED: The Untold Story,” and a discussion with an engaging panel of experts including Mark Squire, Wendy Johnson and Claire Hope Cummings.
In the last century, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. SEED follows passionate seed keepers protecting our 12,000 year-old food legacy. As biotech chemical companies control the majority of our seeds, farmers, scientists, lawyers, and indigenous seed keepers fight to defend the future of our food. These heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.
SEED features Vandana Shiva, Dr. Jane Goodall, Andrew Kimbrell, Winona Laduke and Raj Patel. SEED is Executive Produced by Academy Award Winning Actress Marisa Tomei, Marc Turtletaub (Little Miss Sunshine) and Phil Fairclough (Grizzly Man, Cave of Forgotten Dreams).
Mark Squire, Owner of the Good Earth Natural Foods. He is one of the original proponents and authors of Measure B the Sonoma County initiative that prohibited the outdoor cultivation of GMO’s which passed in 2004.
Wendy Johnson, Organic gardening mentor, teacher and author of Gardening at the Dragon’s Gate. She is a adviser to the Edible School Yard Program and original founder of Green Gulch Farms and the Organic Farm at Indian Valley College.
Claire Hope Cummings, is an environmental lawyer and journalist and award winning author of Uncertain Peril: Genetic Engineering & the Future of Seeds.

We are pleased to present this timely film, especially relevant as the California drought worsens. Over 25% of the water we use in Marin comes from the Russian River through the Sonoma County Water Agency.
Sponsored by Sustainable Fairfax in collaboration with Marin Municipal Water District, Fairfax Volunteers and Fairfax Parks and Recreation Commission
The film is a non-profit project produced, written and directed by residents of Sonoma County who like most everyone on our planet, depend on a watershed to live. The film explores the diverse forces which have come to shape one of California’s iconic rivers – forces which impact rivers and watersheds throughout the world. It examines how the Russian River has been used, and what the consequences of that use have been. Beyond examining its exploitation as a resource, the film revels in the watershed’s profound, often forgotten, beauty. What can we learn from it? Why are we drawn to it?
The film features Maude Barlowe, Brock Dolman, David Keller, Don McEnhill & Marty Griffin.
