Americans’ right to access fresh, healthy foods of their choice is under attack. Farmageddon tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of misguided government bureaucracies, and seeks to figure out why.

Join us in the refreshing air conditioning of the RGK center at UT’s LBJ Library to see one of the most important films highlighting the challenges facing America’s small farmers today, especially those producing raw milk. Following the screening of FARMAGEDDON at this Slow Session, we’ll have an opportunity to discuss comments, concerns, ideas, and inspirations from the film.

The screening will take place in the Bass Lecture Hall (not to be confused with the performance hall) inside the LBJ School of Public Affairs, RGK Center (not the Library). We will have a few signs out so that you can find us. Parking is available on the street on Red River and Dean Keaton or in any nearby UT lot. I originally told some of you that there was free parking, which there used to be, but UT has changed it's policy on free parking for nonprofit events and no longer offers it. The RGK center folks tell me that Lot 38 at the Presidential Library is a permitted space, but less patrolled. So, if you feel like gambling, you could try there, but do be advised that it is a permitted lot and you could risk a parking ticket by parking there!
