Yet there is nothing new under the sun. In many ways, history is a series of repeating events that we can choose to learn from or suffer from ignorance. Our nearest ancestors knew the importance of learning from history particularly on issues concerning growing ones food and developing a level of self-reliance to overcome any challenges that came their way whether it be drought or floods, bounties or famines, pandemics or health. This short film will hopefully be the first in a series of vignettes based on oral histories held with elders throughout the Southern Appalachians to help us better understand our recent history and how we can better cope with today's challenges to build tomorrow's reslience. Join us for a fascinating film and discussion afterwards. The cost is a donation of whatever you choose: $5 for individuals, $10 for households of 2-3 people and an additional donation of whatever amount you choose. All sales are final.

The Land Still Speaks To Us – DVD
The Land Still Speaks To Us is the first in a series of documentaries on mountain heritage spoken by the voices of elders in Western North Carolina. The film depicts the agricultural life that was lived not very long ago, how people prepared their food, connected to family, community, land and faith and what it means to them today to continue their traditions. Will we carry on the torch or let this vibrant cultural legacy disappear in the fog of modern conveniences?
