Join us for the Takoma Park-Silver Spring Co-op's Fourth Annual Co-op Film Fest in partnership with Rhizome!

Cooperatives are a proven alternative to extractive capitalism. In a time when corporate consolidation dominates our food system, cooperatives offer a practical, viable alternative that prioritizes equity, sustainability, and local self-determination.

Join TPSS and Rhizome to watch and discuss two documentaries that examine the history of co-ops in the United States and explore how they build healthier, more connected communities.

Food For Change is an 82-minute documentary film focusing on food co-ops as a force for dynamic social and economic change in American culture. It examines the important historical role played by food co-ops, their pioneering quest for organic foods, and their current efforts to create regional food systems. It shows how cooperatives today strengthen local economies and build food security. You'll come away with a greater understanding of the principles of cooperation with a focus on healthy food and a healthy economy.
