Hawkwood presents this documentary screening. Each ticket will include a food taster with produce grown on our biodynamically farmed walled garden and Stroud Community Agriculture, all cooked freshly by their chefs.

Vandana Shiva is an icon of a global organic food and farming  movement. However, few are aware of how this daughter of a  Himalayan Forest conservator rose from obscurity to become a world leader of Gandhian stature. Hers is the remarkable and unlikely story of a girl who trekked from highland cabin to cabin alongside her father, tended a garden alongside her mother, and pursued an education that freed her from the caste and gender constraints of traditional Indian society, that culminated in a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Quantum Theory. But those achievements were merely a prelude to her awakening as a fully committed activist. The Seeds of Vandana Shiva focuses on the people, circumstances, and seminal events in Vandana’s life—what shaped her thinking and defined her purpose. It also shows how the battle against multinational agribusiness has become an international struggle between two visions for feeding the world.
