Food Tank, in partnership with Barr Mansion and Driscoll’s,
recently hosted the All Things Food
Summit at SXSW. This episode of “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg”
features two conversations
from the event focused on activating people through the power of
film. First, Ben Collier, CEO and Co-Founder of The Farmlink
Project and Mike Meyer, Head of Advocacy for The Farmlink
Project and a 5th Generation Cattle Rancher, sit down with Dani to
discuss the documentary “Abundance,” which follows a group of
college students who catalyze a national movement to end
hunger in the United States. They discuss the early days of
their food rescue efforts during the pandemic, launching and
sustaining a movement, and what lies ahead when their work is
only beginning to scratch the surface.
Then, filmmakers Rebecca and Josh Tickell talk with Dani about
their new documentary
“Common Ground,” the followup to “Kiss the Ground.” They discuss
how raising children
introduced a sense of urgency and new meaning to their work, a new
era of documentary
filmmaking , and why sometimes, all it takes to make a difference
is for one person to see a film.
