Boonah's own documentary and speaker festival 'Boondocs' will bring an international award-winning food documentary and a discussion panel of food industry experts together at the Boonah Cultural Centre in a special event for the Scenic Rim.

"Food Fight", by US filmmaker Chris Taylor, takes a fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th Century, and how the Californian food movement has created a counter-revolution against big agribusiness.

"Food Fight" won the Audience Award at the 2008 International Documentary Association;

Best Documentary 2008 HD FEST Los Angeles and

Best in Show-Documentary Indie Fest 2008. It's been rated as one of the top ten films about food of all time.

Following the screening of "Food Fight", Boondocs is honoured to have an expert discussion panel present on the night, comprising representatives from each sector of the food supply chain to bring the topics raised in this US doco to a local level.
