Eating Alaska

Last night we went to a showing of the documentary Eating Alaska sponsored by a local group, Sustainable Kodiak.

Eating Alaska is a serious and humorous film about connecting to where you live and eating locally. It is about trying to break away from the industrial food system when that means not only buying fresh seasonal food from local farmers, but taking part in a world of hunting and gathering. Made by a former city dweller now living on an island in Alaska and married to fisherman and deer hunter, it is a journey into regional food traditions, our connection to the wilderness and to what we put into our mouths.

We enjoyed the perspectives presented in the film and were pleased by all of the unique characters featured from across the state.

Here are some shots of us eating locally...
