The Aero Theater premieres a film series on food, farms and farmers, hosted by Lisa Lucas, chairperson of SlowFood LA. There will also be a Panel discussion moderated by Lisa Lucas after the films.

The two films that will be featured at the first event are:

The Greenhorns: A documentary about young farmers around the United States who have returned to family farms, or have begun their own farms with no farming background that shows how challenging it is to be a farmer. The film is 50 minutes long.
