Dear Educators,

We extend our heartfelt thanks for screening our film and utilizing the educational guide developed in collaboration with the Mill Valley Film festival and California Film Education team. Your dedication to fostering meaningful conversations around food sovereignty, racial equity, and environmental stewardship is inspiring.

By engaging with these resources, you empower students to reflect on systemic challenges and explore solutions rooted in justice and sustainability. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in this transformative work.

The discussion prompts provided offer a range of strategies to encourage small-group or full- class conversations. For students with experience crafting evidence-based essays, the suggested prompts can serve as a basis for a concise writing assignment. Additionally, standalone handouts are available for pre- and post-viewing activities, emphasizing social-emotional learning. There is also a contextual handout designed to enhance understanding of the film's experience, making the screening more meaningful. These resources can be tailored to support varied educational goals.

Thank you so much for all your work in leading the upcoming generations!

Sincerely,
The Farming While Black team
