Submitted by admin on Thu, 03/03/2011 - 15:54

The acclaimed film Bold Native will screen in the “Happy Pear” vegetarian restaurant in Greystones followed by a talk by nutritionist Gosia Desmond who will discuss practical nutritional strategies to avoid or survive deadly diseases using a vegan diet.

Bold Native is a fiction feature film. Charlie Cranehill, an animal liberator wanted by the United States government for domestic terrorism, emerges from the underground to coordinate a nationwide action as his estranged CEO father tries to find him before the FBI does. The film simultaneously follows a young woman who works for an animal welfare organization fighting within the system to establish more humane treatment of farmed animals. From abolitionists to welfarists, Bold Native takes on the issue of modern animal use and exploitation from several angles within the context of a road movie adventure story.

Gosia Desmond has a degree in Nutritional Medicine from the University of West London and Masters in Dietetics from the Warsaw Medical University. She has also graduated from the Course in Nutritional Epidemiology from the Imperial College London. She is a nutritionist and a researcher at the
Children’s Memorial Health Institute in Warsaw, and a nutritionist at the Carolina Medical Center in Warsaw, where she is setting up a Centre of Nutritional Medicine.

As typical revolutionist I naively believe in obsolete slogans such as mutual aid, fighting injustice, self-organization, respect and admiration for the world of animals and nature. The most important issues for me are animal rights, ecology, children’s rights, anti-fascism, feminism, anticapitalism, anarchist education and Molotov cocktails. Ekhm, I went too far a little bit!
