Film Showing: What We Discovered Along the Way a film by Rose Vincelli Gustine
at Bronx River House (in Starlight Park), Bronx

Imagine a green place. A river rushes by; herbs grow among chestnut and cherry trees. Now wedge this place between highrises and train tracks in the South Bronx. Still a lush oasis, just – different. Here, Journei, an herbalist, tends the Bronx River Foodway, and seeks nourishment from the earth.
Join us for a special showing of What We Discovered Along the Way, a film by Rose Vincelli Gustine centering Journei Bimwala and Bronx River Foodway. For questions or concerns email Foodway@bronxriver.org or call 718-542-4124. Register below.
