" Seeing Through the Fence " at Stanford tomorrow night

 

Tomorrow (Tuesday February 3) at 7:00 PM, filmmaker Eleni Vlachos will

present the documentary " Seeing Through the Fence " , followed by a Q & A

session.

Location: Stanford University, in the Dining Room at the Bechtel

International Center.

Free food: a delicious vegan meal will be served with the film, with

vegan pumpkin gnocchi and tiramisu.

Time: 7 pm for the film, or 6:30 if you'd like to help make food.

 

Presented by ARF! (Animal Rights on the Farm). Danny Elstein of ARF! is

happy for us to disseminate this info here. You are invited; hope to

see you there!

 

Synopsis of film:

Through a series of humorous and poignant interviews conducted across

the US and in Greece with " random people, " the documentarian's family,

and activists, " Seeing through the Fence " explores attitudes about the

role of food in modern society and our connection, or lack of

connection, with both the processes and animals from which our food

originates, asking the question, " What prevents ethical principles from

being advanced to action? "

 

For a trailer (preview) of the film, see:

Bechtel International Center is about 100 yards west-southwest of

Tressider Union.

 

In other good news, a new eaterie called Fraiche just opened at

Tressider Union that has vegan soy-based frozen yogurt with fresh fruit

and other vegan toppings, like mango, strawberry and coconut shavings.
