– August 24and 25, 2023

Actress, director, farmer … Rachel Ward brings powerful film to Noosa and Pomona.

Bringing good, local food back to the table, and healing the land – that is the mission of actor, farmer and film director Rachel Ward.

Rachel is heading to Noosa and Pomona this month for screenings of her movie Rachel’s Farm.

In a first for Queensland, screenings at Pomona’s Majestic Theatre on Thursday, 24 August, at 6.30pm, then at BCC Cinema Noosa at 6.30pm Friday, 25 August, will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the actress/director/farmer.

Slow Food Noosa is proud to bring Rachel Ward to the region in conjunction with Tarwyn Park Training, Kandanga Farm Store, and Noosa and District Land Care.

In this feature film, Rachel travels from her own wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture, to championing a movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate. In doing so, this regeneration of the land will restore the well-being of the farming communities that sustain the nation.

Q&A Discussion

Rachel Ward will be part of the Q&A sessions at both screenings:
Pomona screening: Moderator, Amber Scott. Panel: Hamish Andrews, Forage Farms; Tim Scott, Kandanga Farm Store; Penny Kennedy, Sunshine Organics.
Noosa screening: Moderator, Dr Saskia De Klerk. Panel: Stuart Andrews, Tarwyn Park Training; Amber Scott, Kandanga Farm Store; Victoria Kane, Nutritionist.
