Fork in the Road
- Sat, Oct 24
Director: Jonathan Nastasi, Vivian Sorenson Run Time: 88 min. Release Year: 2026
Imbued with the spirit (and presence) of the late poet/environmentalist Wendell Berry and featuring Emmy-winning actor/bestselling writer (and executive producer) Nick Offerman, FORK IN THE ROAD explores the profound connections between people, the land, and the future of our food system. From kelp harvesters in Alaska to dairy farmers in the midwest, a tapestry of compelling stories from small-scale farmers across the U.S. helps paint a picture of the scale and scope of agricultural industrialization, and what that could mean for the road ahead. With insights from visionary chefs, mission-minded culinary experts, and hopeful innovators working to advance a healthier food future for the country and the planet, the film delves far beyond the farm to reveal the authentic, lived realities and unprecedented challenges of those combatting the tide of escalating consolidation—establishing food sustainability as a shared responsibility that extends into our bodies, kitchens, and communities.
