In Our Hands: Film & Panel on Food Futures

The MAZI Project is very excited to be celebrating the 10 year anniversary of 'In Our Hands'.

In Our Hands (2017) is a feature length documentary that tells the story behind the blood, sweat and tears of the farmers who are outgrowing the industrial food system in the wake of Brexit. At the heart of all change lies a story and In Our Hands is the story of a new kind of farm, a new kind of food and a new kind of society.

Followed by a panel discussion focusing on the power of growing food in an increasingly unstable landscape. Using the 10th anniversary since Brexit’s as our start point, we will be asking our speakers "Has the instability throughout the last 10 years and today’s geo-politics created an opportunity for local food systems to be taken seriously at a national policy level?"

This panel discussion will draw into focus how the unstable global, social and political landscapes of the past 10 years is making it more and more difficult for our government to ignore the importance of addressing food security. We will be bringing The MAZI Project lens, representing food justice, reinforcing successful food security exists when all people have consistent access to nutritious and culturally appropriate food, not just those on a high income.

We will be hosting experienced speakers from farming, policy and community backgrounds to curate a robust and reflective conversation.

This experience is part of The MAZI Project’s series of events marking World Hunger Day, under the theme “Together for Joyful Resilience.”

By coming together around the table, sharing stories, and celebrating nourishing food, we are asking Bristol to join us in solidarity with support young people affected by poverty and exclusion feel love and care through the power of food and community.

Together, we can make joy an act of resilience and create a community where no young person is left behind!
