About the Movie: FEEDING TOMORROW, a film by brothers Oliver and Simon English,the sons of famed chef Todd English, has been shown at many venues from COP28 to SXSW film festival in Austin to the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, gaining multiple awards. It guides viewers through the current reality of the food system, which prioritizes fast and cheap production, and as a result is destroying ecosystems, fueling climate change, and threatening our health.
