The Pax Natura Foundation presents Seeds of Sovereignty, a film by Stuart J. Tanner.
After a successful international festival run with over 70 official selections, 24 awards, and screenings in more than 30 countries, the film is coming to Fairfield for two special community screenings at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
Screenings will take place on Saturday, June 6 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, June 7 at 2:30 PM. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A and community discussion.
Mexico stands at a crossroads, fighting to protect its native seeds, lands, and people from the encroachment of genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals. Seeds of Sovereignty was born from urgency, a response to a battle that is both deeply local and undeniably global. More than a film about agriculture, it is about identity, resistance, and the right to shape our future. Through legal victories, grassroots movements, and striking visuals, the documentary asks what happens when profit is placed above human and environmental health. The goal of the film is not only to inform, but to immerse audiences in this struggle and inspire action. The fight to protect native maize in Mexico reflects a broader global question about food sovereignty, biodiversity, and the future of farming itself.
More than a film, Seeds of Sovereignty is an invitation to reflect on our relationship to food, land, culture, and the future we are collectively creating.
