SUMMARY:FORK IN THE ROAD - Environmental Film Focus Series
DESCRIPTION:BIFF’s Environmental Film Focus Series presents FORK IN THE ROAD\n2026 | 89 mins\nSunday\, October 4th\, 3pm.\nThe Triplex\, Great Barrington MA \nGET TICKETS\nJoin us for FORK IN THE ROAD. This film sheds light on the struggles and resilience of small-scale farmers and communities working around an unjust food system. It highlights how conventional agriculture\, climate change\, and economic inequality impact independent farmers. Through the lens of both land and sea\, the film explores regenerative approaches that prioritize building healthy soil and restoring ocean health as ways to mitigate climate change. We will illustrate how we can heal the planet while feeding ourselves\, suggesting that a shift toward sustainability and justice\, whether on land or in the ocean\, is essential for our future. The characters in the film represent the diverse struggles faced by farmers\, activists\, and communities working around a broken food system. From a family in Henry County\, Kentucky\, who fight to sustain their farm after losing a dairy contract with a corporate giant\, to an Alaskan indigenous kelp farmer\, to Latina farmers facing economic and social inequities in California\, their stories reflect the broader issues of access to land\, capital\, and fair markets. We profile practitioners and the non-profits that support them\, who embody the resilience and determination needed to overcome systemic obstacles and create a better\, more sustainable food future. \n​FORK IN THE ROAD shows how change is not only possible\, but necessary – for a thriving\, equitable world. And it can be delicious\, so let’s eat! \nQ&A and light refreshments to follow the film. \nThe Environmental Film Focus Series is made possible by generous underwriting from the Roaring Brook Family Foundation. \n \n  \nGET TICKETS
