Alyssa Jocson Porter 4/29/2021 2:31 PMOne of the actions I chose was to watch a documentary about food sovereignty. I watched "Abundant land : soil, seeds, and sovereignty" and learned about how corporate agriculture has negatively impacted the Hawaiian islands' environment and harmed the residents, especially native & indigenous peoples.
This documentary is available for SCC folks to watch for free via our library database, Academic Video Online. Here's a direct link to the film: https://video-alexanderstreet-com.seattlecentral.idm.oclc.org/watch/abundant-land-soil-seeds-and-sovereignty?context=channel:third-world-newsreel
