SW, Albuquerque 505-314-0398 www.leopoldcelebration.org free admission Does what you eat affect global warming? Are small scaled farmers the new super-heroes? Can growing local organic food save the Earth? Heart & Soil, a 45-minute family documentary, offers hope for our planet. Filmed in the rugged Four Corners Area of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico, Heart & Soil has been called "a love song for farmers," those stalwart keepers of the earth who speak with passion on diverse topics including animal husbandry, soil science and climate change. Heart & Soilalso touches on the darker side of agriculture: the corporate extractive systems that produces - not only most of the food we eat - but global warming. Guests are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and dinner for these outdoor film screenings.
