Dock Street Brewery will host the only Philadelphia’s screening of the new documentary Urban Roots on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 8:30 p.m. The film, produced by Tree Media, tells the story of the urban farming phenomenon in Detroit.

The film follows a group of local farmers who are working to turn a troubled industrial city into a model of local farming and sustainability. It is a timely and inspiring film that shows hope for us all in a sustainable and prosperous future after the end of the industrial age.

The screening is free and Dock Street is donating $1 per beer sold during the screening to the Tree Media Foundation which works to put farms in local schools. The film will be screened on the new and improved projector screen. It is recommended that you arrive early to secure a seat.

Here’s a trailer:
