Call for Submissions

HEALTH AND LOCAL FOOD:

We invite your participation!

Uprooted the documentary is calling for input and thoughts from the wider community about the connections between our personal health and the health of our communities, economy, and environment. We want you to take a look at the two clips below that explore the connection between personal and environmental health and post a comment letting us know your perspectives.

We also invite you to submit written work in the form of poetry, spoken word, prose, or art and we will select winners to be in the documentary, speaking his/her stories, spoken word, or perspectives. You will also get a green screen shoot, and archival footage for your web page, myspace, blog or whatever.

Here's the idea. We are looking for pieces that include these themes:

connections between poor health and lack of healthy foods in many urban neighborhoods, how people can empower themselves by growing their own food or seeking food from local sources, and the connection between personal health and the health of our environment.

Here are the rough cuts of what we have now. We suggest that you watch the clips below and then add your personal experiences, stories, and perspectives to what we've started with. Submit written work in the blog or you can e-mail work to t brad@gotthenac.org or tom.kondilas@lessproductions.com
