The Food Fight that changed America

Tonight we have the second installment of our Let’s Talk About series that looks at poverty in the Seacoast, that we featured on the blog last week. Next week we are hosting the hometown sneak peek of Food Fight: Inside the Battle for Market Basket as part of our Film Matters series. Food Fight is documentary that takes your from the very beginning of the power struggle over Market Basket through the resolution with interviews with the people who fought big business and won.

I love this story, mostly because in an age where it seems Wall Street always wins, a group of people came together to fight for what they believed in and not only did they win, they did so on a very public stage. We all know the public story, but this documentary gives you the full story, what happened, how did a non-union company organize so quickly and efficiently, and how did they win. While the first showing has sold out, we have decided to add a second showing on Sunday night, so you still have a chance to find out the answers.

Make sure to get your tickets before the second show sells out. Buy Tickets
