Healthy Acadia will host a series of free community screenings of the acclaimed short documentary Seeds of Change, featuring farmer and food justice advocate Mark McBrine, on Feb. 6, 7, and 8 at venues across Washington County.

Seeds of Change chronicles the intersecting stories of lifelong farmer Mark McBrine and incarcerated men who grow, cook, and share food from a 5-acre prison garden, offering a powerful look at how farming and connection to the land can foster healing, dignity, and second chances. McBrine’s farm-to-table work has helped make Maine a national leader in nutritious and restorative food systems.
Each screening will be followed by a question-and-answer discussion with McBrine and members of the Downeast Restorative Harvest team.
