For the program, we will watch the 41 minute long documentary and have a discussion about Let Us Be Heros - The True Cost of Our Food Choices that looks at the health and environmental impact of our diets and lifestyle choices.

Directed by Rebecca Cappelli and Abhi Anchliya, Let Us Be Heroes shares the stories of athletes, entrepreneurs, activists, and experts in the food and fashion scenes, among others, in a bid to empower people to make positive changes.

“We are the leaders of the world we want to live in,” filmmakers wrote. “Let us be heroes.”
