SEEDS OF TIME
Click for this Resource!
A perfect storm is brewing as agriculture pioneer Cary Fowler races against time to protect the future of our food.

Dear Sam,
Thank you so much for your kind words! We would love to help you organize a screening in Vermont.

Dear Sandy,
Congratulations on your phenomenal film. What an important, timely subject! The trailer—with its compelling images and script—is superb! I look forward to seeing SEEDS OF TIME in NYC. I hope it will motivate people to awaken to the realities of climate change, and make the necessary changes that face us all. I forwarded your link to a friend who is writing a YA book about Seeds, and will email your co-producer w a suggestion for a fab film venue in New York. Thank you for your extraordinary work!
Warm regards,
Imogene Drummond
