DOCUMENTARY FILM SCREENING - SWEET SAMARA

Join us at Foxtrot on Saturday July 9th at 6 p.m. for a powerful 13-minute documentary "Sweet

Samara," will be followed by a discussion with director Divad Durant along with members of the film’s cast from Sweet Freedom Farm.

The film follows Jalal Sabur, a Black farmer in upstate New York, as he tends land through changing seasons while making maple syrup — work that becomes both literal and metaphorical in the journey toward liberation.

The screening follows a community farm day at Sweet Freedom Farm, where members of the public are invited to gather during the morning of Aug. 9 at Sweet Freedom Farm in Germantown,N.Y. to learn about and explore African diasporic crops, honor ancestors and deepen the connections between the community and the land.

Tickets are on a sliding scale from $20 through Eventbrite - all proceeds go to Supporting Incarcerated Families
