Event Description:
Co-Presentation with Planet in Focus for a screening of Tea Creek. Post-Screening Panel moderated by Lindsay Monture
Tea Creek
Director: Ryan David Lee Dickie | Country: Canada | Length: 01:14:40 |
Tsimshian farmer Jacob Beating is on a mission to promote healthy Indigenous communities through local food, undoing the legacy of colonization on food security by training a new generation of Indigenous farmers, while balancing the challenges and precarity of farming that threaten the future of Tea Creek Farm and its larger vision.
Jacob Beaton is an unassuming Tsimshian farmer on an extraordinary mission to promote healthy Indigenous communities centered on land-based practices and local food. Nestled in Gitxsan ancestral territory, he and his family run Tea Creek Farm and Indigenous Food Sovereignty Training Center. While Jacob has witnessed the profound effect of his farm on its Indigenous trainees, he faces the challenges and precarity of farming that threaten the future of Tea Creek and its larger vision. Featuring beautiful footage set in the striking Northern British Columbia landscape, Dene director Ryan Dickie explores how colonization impacts food security in Indigenous communities, weaving themes of sovereignty, mental health, and leadership into a film that illuminates the healing power of growing food.
