Seeds of Change: Breaking Free from the Prison Food System

Join us for a free screening of "Seeds of Change: Breaking Free from the Prison Food System", an award-winning documentary film that follows the lives of organic Maine farmer Mark McBrine and incarcerated men as they grow their own food on a five-acre prison garden unlike any other, at Eastport Arts Center on Friday, February 6 at 6 p.m.

Nick Callanan, director of the Maine Outdoor Film Festival called it “a complex piece of narrative-building, such an elevated work,” and Gov. Janet Mills said “I am proud of this work … ‘Seeds of Change’ is fundamentally a story of hope.”

“Seeds of Change” premiered at the 2023 Maine International Film Festival and has gone on to receive numerous accolades and awards across the country, including Best Documentary Short: Lessons of Hope at the Prestigious SCAD Savannah Film Festival.
