STEWARDS OF THE LAND — DOCUMENTARY SHOWING
Mark your calendars for an engaging event this Sunday, March 3, 2024, at 6:00 PM at Bajo El Sol Gallery. The St John Film Society, in collaboration with Bajo El Sol, proudly presents “Stewards of the Land,” a compelling 90-minute documentary.
Join us as we delve into the world of sustainable farming right here in the Caribbean. Filmmaker Juanma Teitelbaum and producer Mariolga Reyes Cruz will grace us with their presence for a stimulating Q & A session following the screening.
The film follows Stephanie, Ian, and Alfredo, landless ecological farmers dedicated to producing healthy local food in Puerto Rico. In an economically challenged US territory heavily reliant on food imports and prone to frequent hurricanes, the urgency of local food production is undeniable. Witness the resilience of these individuals as they navigate the challenges of farming without land ownership or capital.
Don’t miss out on this enlightening event. Prepare to be inspired by the determination of these modern-day stewards of the land. See you there! Learn more about the film and it’s creators here!
