Saturday Matinee at Rosendale Theatre
October 4th, 4PM
Directed and shot by Annie Laurie Medonis, an LGBTQ+ and women-forward filmmaker, A Culinary Uprising tells the inspiring story of Selma Miriam (89) and Noel Furie (79), who founded Bloodroot, a feminist vegan restaurant and bookstore. For 48 years, they’ve been a strong voice for diversity, women’s empowerment, and the wellbeing of all living creatures. Bloodroot has been featured in the New York Times and the Washington Post, and continues to be on the cutting edge of vegan dining worldwide.
Joining us after the film for a Q&A is Emily Larned, who authored a book about Bloodroot and also appears in the documentary, in conversation with WSW’s Archivist Faythe Levine.
