*Sold Out* Extraordinary Essex Film Screening: 'Don’t Fight The Land That Feeds You'

The film follows the journey from soil to kitchen, featuring recipes from around the world made with locally grown ingredients in Essex.

Marley Karazimba was the recipient of Essex County Council's Extraordinary Essex Art Commission

Drawing on his experience as a multimedia artist and filmmaker, as well as his work in community-supported agriculture and permaculture, the film - ‘Don’t Fight The Land That Feeds You’ - documents diverse individuals in their gardens, allotments, and community farms.

The project involves the local community, including participants from initiatives like Bennison Farm and Common Ground Colchester. Interviews will highlight participants’ reflections on Essex, its land, and culture.
