Local Movie: Island on the Edge

 Produced and directed by Nick Versteeg of DV Cuisine, this documentary
features food producers and farmers of Vancouver Island and how they
struggle to provide a continuous, healthy food supply for Island
residents in the face of corporate agricultural conglomerates and a
population that seems to prefer cheaper, imported food.

 "With the rise in popularity of the so-called '100-Mile Diet', we thought
it was time to show people how their local food is produced and the
challenges that exist on the island to giving more consumers access to
fresh, local ingredients," said Don Genova, food journalist in Cobble
Hill and writer of the documentary.
