This historical documentary walks you through the evolution of the Slow Food Movement, started in Italy by Carlo Petrini. Launched from his tiny hometown of Bra Italy (27,000 inhabitants) the Slow Food movement has grown to become a global life-style and political phenomenon that boasts a network of over 170 chapters in 150 countries. Our Guest Speaker Andrea Canepari will provide us with some background on the evolution of the movement, its roots in Italy that now have inspired chapters around the world.
