Award-winning filmmaker Liz Tadic from Australia and is making a documentary about Food Not Bombs. Food Not Bombs cofounder Keith McHenry is also writing a companion book about the 25- year history of the Food Not Bombs movement. These two projects will introduce our exciting movement to a mass audience, and invite everyone to join in the effort to bring peace and justice to the world. Liz and Keith visited Food Not Bombs groups in over 100 cities in Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. Their next journey is to visit Food Not Bombs in Asia and Africa. Keith has kept a journal of their trips and Liz has taken over 150 hours of video. She interviewed former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos, Noam Chompski , Howard Zinn, Frances Fox Piven and Frances Moore Lappé, as well as hundreds of homeless people, activists and Food not Bombs volunteers.
While visiting over 100 Food Not Bombs groups Keith helped collect, cook and share food. He also gave a talks about the history of Food Not Bombs and interviewed volunteers about how their group started, how they organize their activities and what problems and successes they have had. He is also collecting videos made by Food Not Bombs groups that shows at his talks.
Liz Tadic is a respected, award-winning journalist. This one hour documentary will air on major TV networks all over the world reaching millions of people who may not have heard about this valuable social movement. We need to visit Food Not Bombs groups in Asia, edit a trailer to send to TV stations and to buy the footage from the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Chetchnia, the nuclear bombing of Japan and starvation as well as music rights. We also need to pay for graphics, narrations and many other production costs.
Keith's book will inspire thousands more to join in the struggle for democracy, freedom and a sustainable future. He has written over 100 pages of the first draft. The publisher also plans to include over 50 photographs.
