THURSDAY, JUNE 1 —Opening Night at the Mahaiwe, Great Barrington, sponsored by Berkshire Bank: The festival opens with FOOD AND COUNTRY about America’s policy of producing cheap food at all costs which has long hobbled small independent farmers, ranchers and chefs. Trailblazing food writer Ruth Reichl reaches out across political and social divides to uncover the country’s broken food system and the innovators risking it all to transform it. The film covers a rich cultural spectrum, from fine dining rooms to far lands, discovering passionate, inspirational change makers along the way. Ruth Reichl will be in attendance for a Q&A following the film.
