Dinner and a Doc, January 9th, 2010

January 2nd, 2010

This Saturday, January the 9th, our Dinner and a Doc screening will be of Bill Haney’s The Price of Sugar.  The film explores the ways that sugar production effects the people who grow it in the Domincan Republic, following the work of a priest who is trying to organize the workers to achieve some basic human rights.

More information can be found at the film’s official website, in the official trailer, and in this interview with the director.

The soup that night will be this Roasted Sweet Garlic, Bread, and Almond Soup.  I am looking forward to giving it a try.

As usual, the event will be at my place, 130 Dublin Street, Guelph, and all are welcome, though please email or leave a comment to let me know that you will be coming. We will eat at about 5:30 and begin the film at about 6:00.

Also, here are some of the upcoming films we will be showing:
February 13th – Lost in La Mancha by Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe
March 13th – Man or Aran by Robert Flaherty
April 10th – Man with a Movie Camera by Dziga Vertov

    I don’t wish to make things burdensome, but could there be an alternative meal choice, I have an adverse reaction to garlic in large quantities [usually when it is the main ingredient or in whole cloves] : think migraine hangover type symptoms.

    Curtis,

    I try to stay away from the most common allergens (though dairy is a hard one for many soups), but those evenings are too crazy to be making custom meals at the same time. If the soup is not one you can eat, please feel free to bring something for yourself that will be easier on your stomach.

    big d,

    Thanks for pointing out my oversight. The time and and location and whatnot have now been added.
