If you are fan of asparagus, tonight is finally your night! At The Tank there will be showing of Aparagus, The Movie. After watching the documentary, filmmakers Anne de MAre and Kirsten Kelly will have a Q&A.

“For over thirty years, Oceana County Michigan has been the Asparagus Capital of the World. Now its residents and family farms take on the US War on Drugs, free trade, and a fast food nation, all to save their beloved ‘roots.’ Oceana’s farmers take their fight from Senate Trade Hearings to marketing think-tanks, from the US Department of Agriculture to the mountains of Peru. One rural American community is scrambling to keep its proud identity and source of survival against impossible odds. Discover why one little vegetable matters so much.”
