Lamezia, screening of the film “Food for profit” at the Antico Mulino delle Fate

Lamezia Terme – May events come to life at the Antico Mulino delle Fate in Lamezia Terme. On the evening of Saturday 11 May at 8pm the investigative film by Giulia Innocenzi and Pablo d’Ambrosi “Food for profit” will be screened in its entirety, which is having great success in many Italian and foreign cinemas and was recently resumed, with large excerpts, in the last episode of “Report” on RAI3 (Siegfrido Ranucci’s broadcast), attracting 1.5 million viewers. The film, they highlight in a note, “tells the misdeeds of large meat producing companies (and not only) which contravene the most basic rules of health and hygiene in intensive farming, draining contributions from the European Union, distorting competition on the market, damaging small producers, putting the health of consumers at risk, mistreating animals. The film also demonstrates the level of conditioning in the European Parliament by the lobbyists of large manufacturing companies, who finance the electoral campaigns of parliamentarians willing to favor them. The news is very recent that several European parliamentarians involved in the journalistic investigation have been forced to withdraw their candidacies in the next elections”.

It lasts an hour and a half and will be introduced by the writer and environmentalist Francesco Bevilacqua. The screening (in case of bad weather it will take place indoors) is part of the events of the Antico Mulino delle Fate (from 10 to 19 May, as per the program already made public: educational walks in the Canne torrent valley, visits to the mill, events cultural etc.). But above all it is part of the European Days of Mills and Milling Heritage organized by the Italian Association of Historic Mills. Finally, they remind us that the Mill can be reached from the provincial road that goes from Lamezia Terme to Soveria Mannelli, parking upstream of the Norman-Swabian Castle of Nicastro and walking up the little road for five minutes that leads from the Niola district to the Mill, going up the course of the stream Reeds.
