Movie Night, "They're Trying to Kill Us"
Life is Delicious is teaming up with the First Unitarian Church to co-host a movie night on Wednesday, September 18th at the Bear Library. "They're Trying to Kill Us" stars John Lewis as he crosses the country seeking answers to why Americans of Color suffer from disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease than their European American counterparts, while examining the intersections of food, disease, race, poverty, institutional racism and government corruption. We will have plant based snacks and a discussion after the film to talk about next steps.
