On South Whidbey Island in the state of Washington, a school farm involves children from kindergarten through high school in every phase of raising organic vegetables as part of their school experience. Supported by local non-profits, community volunteers, and the school district, it shows that a garden can be a valuable addition to a school curriculum, while encouraging children to eat healthy food and selling local, organic produce to the school cafeterias. And the school farm also supplies the local food bank and community nutrition programs with fresh organic produce throughout the growing season.

Available with public performance rights for purchase, DSL and rental from Bullfrog Films. Previews for purchase evaluation available on request.

$Bullfrog Films presents...Bank Job BANK JOB A film by Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell Available for educational use: https://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/bjob.html Debt is an integral component of our current system of inequality. Almost all money is conjured into reality at the moment when banks make loans. This means our money supply is effectively on lease from private banks, giving them inordinate power determine the course of our economic, social and common good. Yet we, the public, do not yet fully understand the way money comes into existence – and while we remain in the dark, there will be no way to change course. Artist/filmmaker team Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell live in an area plagued by debt – mortgage debt, credit card debt, public debt – which impoverishes families, communities and public services. So they recruit their neighbors to set up a bank in their High Street to print their own currency which they then sell as art works. The plan is to raise money to support the local school and community projects and, more daringly, to buy up over $1 million of the debts of local people. These debts are being sold on the market for a small fraction of their face value. BANK JOB follows Dan and Hilary as they succeed in their aim, eventually (and spectacularly) blowing up the debt in the shadow of London’s financial district. Along the way, they meet with economists, politicians and anti-debt campaigners in America to discover how debt is created in our economy and ask important questions about how the system of money creation might be altered in society’s favor…not just to the banking system’s benefit. With wit, insight, and gunpowder, BANK JOB argues that these debts are a result of a monetary system which is impoverishing multitudes by design, and which could be changed. Featuring interviews with: Professor Andrew Ross, founder of Strike Debt; economist Ann Pettifor, co-founder of Jubilee 2000; late anthropologist and activist David Graeber, author of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory; and Financial Times columnist Martin Wolf.$

$Bullfrog Films presents...Fixing Food: The Three Cricketeers THE THREE CRICKETEERS Produced and directed by Sue Williams http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/fxfd.html Like many Americans, Claire and Chad Simons worried about climate change but didn’t know what they could do about it. Then one day in 2015, their son came home from school, excited about having eaten a snickerdoodle made with cricket flour. Crickets as food? Why not? they asked. Crickets are high in protein, easy to raise, and very environmentally friendly, using a fraction of the land, water, and feed needed to raise beef cattle. Today the family operates a large commercial cricket farm, dehydrating and processing the insects into fine powder or roasting them for snacks.$
