LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Documentary Showcase announces a special Thanksgiving Day presentation of the multiple award-winning film The Bullish Farmer at 3:00 p.m. ET.
The Bullish Farmer follows John "John Boy" Ubaldo as he leaves behind a career on Wall Street to become a small family farmer. The film brings to light his awakening to the disparity between the high nutritional value of local foods grown sustainably and mass-produced foods grown with the extensive use of chemicals and pesticides and the long-term dangers they pose to human health.
For the upcoming special airing, Documentary Showcase caught up with John Boy and the film's director, Ken Marsolais, to talk about what the holiday means to them.
For Ken, Thanksgiving is all about "food and family, friends and love and blessings." Echoing the theme of The Bullish Farmer, he goes on to say, "It's important that the food everyone eats is good, clean food. Be aware of where you are getting your food. The best place to buy it is at farmers markets and local organic markets."
Thanksgiving at John Boy's means, "We keep the door open. The more the merrier," he says. "It's all about gratitude. We are very, very grateful for what we have and the food that we have to eat." And what's the most important consideration when it comes to choosing the food John Boy puts on his Thanksgiving table? "It's about making a life choice," he states, "and that carries through the holidays where there's so many good things to eat that you don't need to bury yourself in junk food."
