On Friday April 21, The Sunshine Gogos will present two films about the power of food production to initiate change at the Max Cameron Theatre. This event is a fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign which helps support initiatives in Africa. Doors open at 7 pm for the reception with the films beginning at 8 pm. Tickets are $10 and available at Ecossentials, Base Camp, River City Coffee and Nancy’s Bakery. The Sunshine Gogos have raised $77,755 for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign since they began in 2009 with ten members. The evening will include a reception with home baked treats, community tables with gardening and food production information, and the Gogos’ own craft market. The Thinking Garden is a 35-minute film about the resilience of three generations of women in a village in South Africa who came together in the dying days of apartheid to create a community garden. The garden provides affordable vegetables to local people, nourishes those living
with HIV/AIDS, and offers land, community, and opportunity for women, helping to restore the lives of people pushed to the edge.
GOGOS: The Thinking Garden. Vancouver filmmaker Moira Simpson joined writer-director Christine Welsh and co-producer Elizabeth Vibert to film the stories and work of these women against the backdrop of devastating drought in South Africa. The film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers. It will be preceded by a 14-minute film, The Sharing Farm, about a project started by grandmothers to collect and distribute fruit in Richmond, and how that project has grown into an inspiring community garden. This film is directed by Keith Behrman, and Mary and Michael Gazetas.
