Sustainable Woodstock Climate Change and Sustainability film series presents ‘The Pollinators’

Submitted

Jan. 25-30 — VIRTUAL — Sustainable Woodstock and Pentangle Arts presents “The Pollinators,” a cinematic journey around the United States following migratory beekeepers and their truckloads of honey bees as they pollinate the flowers that become the fruits, nuts and vegetables we all eat. The film focuses on the challenges the beekeepers and their bees face en route and reveals flaws in our simplified chemically dependent agriculture system. The film interviews farmers, scientists, chefs and academics along the way to give a broad perspective about the threats to honey bees, what it means to our food security and how we can improve it.

Send a note after you view the film. Sustainable Woodstock and Pentangle Arts would love to hear your thoughts and reactions. If you appreciate this free film series please consider donating to Pentangle Arts and supporting our local arts community at pentanglearts.org/get-involved/donations.
