The current state of our food system is the subject of a series of films to be aired in Billings.

As YPR's Stella Fong reports, the films show where our food comes from, who grows it, and where it goes. In partnership with the Yellowstone Valley Citizens Council, The 2017 Food Film Festival will be held at the Arthouse Cinema & Pub three Tuesday's in a row. Doors open at 5:30 and films start at 6:30. Light snacks will be provided by Good Earth Market.
