Eric Masterson is no ordinary birdwatcher. An immigrant himself from Ireland to New England, he’s fallen in love with bird migration – and specifically with a little-known wonder of the world that happens every spring and fall, just above our heads, under cover of darkness. To avoid hawks and navigate by the stars, millions upon millions of birds migrate at night, skimming over our rooftops while we sleep. To experience this invisible wonder, Masterson says, we have to learn to “see with our ears.” Celebrating both avian achievement and human devotion, “Nightsongs” is a meditation on the art of seeing – and treasuring – what cannot be seen.

The Last Harvest
Virtual Showing
2018 | USA | 20 min | Documentary
Director: Alexis Spradic
Producers: Michael Pizzo, David Burden, Tieneke Pavesic, Tim Lynch
The average grocery shopper may be surprised to learn that more than 75% of the fresh fruit consumed in the U.S. is completely dependent on hand-harvesting. Despite a rapidly growing $40 billion fresh produce industry, growers are in fear of a viable future as they struggle to find workers to pick the fields. More than $3.1 Billion is missed in economic growth each year as crops are left to rot in abandoned fields.
The Last Harvest offers a rare glimpse into the critical labor shortage problem in the agricultural industry. Hear the stories of those most impacted by this phenomenon and learn how immigration reform, an improved guest worker program, and innovation and collaboration can provide a solution. Let’s inspire a productive dialogue. The future of good food depends on the choices we make today. Our hope is this is not The Last Harvest.
