A native Alabamian and his wife return home and decide to eat like their grandparents did, locally and seasonally. But everything about the food system has changed since farmers populated their family histories. A story about the South and sustainability, ultimately Eating Alabama is about why food matters.

The documentary follows a defiant movement of women of color as they transform politics from the ground up. Filmed during the historic 2018 midterm elections, the series follows organizers and candidates (including Rashida Tlaib and Stacey Abrams) as they fight for a truly reflective government, asking whether democracy can be preserved, and made stronger, by those most marginalized.
