Documentary Series: Screening of Cream of the Crop

Join us for the screening of Cream of the Crop, a CBC documentary miniseries, released in 2024 and directed by Kat Hutton. It follows a group of fruit pickers in the Okanagan region of Canada. The series highlights their daily lives, the meaning of their work, the diversity of people in this profession, as well as reflections on the spiritual dimension of the food cycle and sustainability issues.

You will also have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session with Kat Hutton after the screening of the episode.

Pizza will be provided.
