> About the Film

>

> Told through the voices of farmers, " What's Organic About 'Organic'? "

> delves into the issues that arise when a grassroots agricultural

> movement evolves into a booming international market. As the film

> moves from farm fields to government meetings to industry trade shows,

> we meet four farmers who are involved in different aspects of the

> organic world. Because, when you stop to think about it - from the

> farmers on the ground to the citizens at the grocery store, from

> government bureaucracy to the global economy - how do we really

> understand what's organic about " organic " ?

>

> I am pleased to present to you a teaser/trailer for the documentary

> film that I have been working on for the past two years, " What's

> Organic About 'Organic'? " The film will not only offer viewers a

> glimpse into the lives of the farmers/characters who breathe life into

> the organic movement, but also will help foster an awareness of the

> issues at the heart of conscientious consumption and responsible

> citizenship.

>

> This film is being made through donations from people like you who

> want to know more about organic food and agriculture. Please consider

> making a tax-deductible donation to help us finish the film. With the

> growing interest in knowing about where our food comes from, it has

> become increasingly important to know how to ask the right questions

> and listen to farmers' stories.

>

> Any tax-deductible contribution you can make would be greatly

> appreciated. Please pass this letter and trailer along to the people

> you know who care about their food, the environment, and our farmers.

>

> I am deeply grateful for your time, attention, and support.
