About the film: Growing Change is an inspiring new documentary that looks at one of the most exciting experiments in the world to grow a fair and sustainable food system.
In Venezuela, from fishing villages to cacao plantations to urban gardens, a growing social movement is showing what’s possible when communities, not corporations, start to take control of food.
