Whole Foods Market is sponsoring a nation-wide film festival to celebrate Earth Month. The travelling film festival will be showing in 70 cities across the US and the Dallas-Fort Worth screenings this month.
The film festival is a collection of six provocative, character-driven films that focus on food, environmental issues and everyday people with a vision of making a world of difference. We are excited to have the film festival come to the DFW metroplex and hope to spark a dialogue about these issues.
All the movies will be shown at the Studio Movie Grills in Plano, Arlington and Dallas with each movie starting at 7:30 pm on the scheduled night.
April 19th – Bag It
April 20th – Lunch Line
April 21st – On Coal River
April 26th – Planeat
April 27th – Urban Roots
