An Acquired Taste – Documentary about locavore hunting

I’m excited that I get to go watch a screening of this film this coming weekend as part of the Austin Film Festival. The film covers the topic of locavore hunting and follows three young kids that are hunting for the first time. Trailer & synopisis from the An Acquired Taste website:

“Why kill your own food? A new mindful generation of teens defy factory farming and turn to hunting as a way of connecting with the source of their sustenance. They are part of a new urban movement in the United States: locavore hunters. Nick, Alex and Ashlie leave behind their modern lives and embark on a journey that is foreign to their parents. To make a humane kill, these animal lovers confront tormenting ethics and their worst nightmares, partly to eat dinner, and partly to carve out their own identities in a world increasingly at odds with reality and nature.”

Looks really interested and I’m taking the whole crew to see it. Can’t wait!
