“Cafeteria Man”: Turning a Lunchroom into a Battleground for Justice Filmmaker Interview with Richard Chisolm

“Cafeteria Man”: Turning a Lunchroom into a Battleground for Justice Filmmaker Interview with Richard Chisolm

When filmmaker Richard Chisolm got a phone call from longtime friend and producer Sheila Kinkade, he didn’t expect it to lead to one of his most formative projects. Sheila had read one news about Tony Geraci, a bold new hire arriving in Baltimore to overhaul their city’s deeply flawed school lunch system. Her words: “This sounds like a really good film.”

And it was.

Two Nourishing Nourishers

Two Nourishing Nourishers

My path crossed with that of Chef Max Musto in early October, during the wonderful Austin Eats event at the Bethel New Life Mildred Wiley Wellness Center in Chicago’s  Austin neighborhood, and I wanted to know more about him. And, in a way, I also crossed paths with Chef Qia C at the same event (or at least my palate did; I tasted her food!), so I reached out to both of them to learn more about these two Chicagoland nourishing nourishers, and here they are. First, Max. Then, Qia.

“Farming While Black”: Growing Food on Chicago’s West Side

Located on Chicago’s West Side, the Austin community doesn’t have a lot of healthy food options. A group of 22 partner organizations, called Austin Eats, is trying to change that. One of the ways is through twice-yearly food education events led by One Earth Collective. This summer we helped lead Austin Eats’ food education team to plan and put on a “Movie At The Farm” event that welcomed at least 150 people.
