About the films and our partners:
Doubletime
Tribeca Film Festival favorite Doubletime is about jumping rope. The documentary follows two disparate teams ? one suburban white and one inner-city black ? as they train to compete against each other for the very first time. The Bouncing Bulldogs of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and The Double Dutch Forces of Columbia, South Carolina are the two top American teams. Although they train in neighboring states, the Bulldogs and the Forces are in separate leagues and rarely cross paths. The Bulldogs represent the best of gymnastic freestyle jumping found mostly in white suburbia, while the Forces belong to the inner- city African American tradition of Double Dutch. For the first time, both the Bulldogs and the Forces decide to enter a competition at the world famous Apollo Theater called the Holiday Classic. The film features four young athletes who display courage, skills, and charisma as they passionately prepare for the event. Doubletime culminates on stage in Harlem with this rowdy crowd- pleasing contest which features ?fusion? routines where Double Dutch is blended with hip- hop dance and music. http://doubletimefilm.com/watch
The Chef and the Farmer
Catch a sneak preview of this authentically Southern television series, behind the scenes at a highbrow restaurant struggling to make it in one of the most impoverished communities in America — Kinston, NC.Chef Vivian Howard was making a name for herself in the NYC restaurant world when her father, a hog farmer from Eastern North Carolina made her an offer she couldn’t refuse — to build her very own restaurant. The catch, it would be located in her hometown, a place she swore she’d never return to. Six years in, Vivian and her restaurant, Chef and the Farmer, have won numerous accolades (even semifinalist for James Beard award) but the challenges continue. As the TV series opens, Vivian and Ben are juggling the restaurant with raising twins, and a fire has destroyed the restaurant’s kitchen. What happens next is a true testament to what local cooking and eating really mean.
The Wok Next Door
Joe hardly ever spoke to the couple that lived beside him until one day, he smelled garlic and ginger coming from their window. It was a meal that tempted his nostrils. He didn’t know anything?yet?about the family history simmering in his neighbors’ wok…
This video is the first in a series by Vittles, a film collaborative that tells personal stories through recipes, explores a changing South through its cuisine, and documents the growing food movement in North Carolina through the people sustaining it.

Big Green Bus Returns to the Piedmont
The Big Green Bus will return for three days to visit the Piedmont. Upcoming event details TBD, but we need your help to house 12 Dartmouth students for two nights: Thursday, June 21 and Friday, June 22. Please let us know if you have some space to host some of these wonderful students!
The Big Green Bus is a program run through Dartmouth that is designed to inspire Americans through education and example to develop a greater understanding of the human impacts on the environment and the ways in which we can work to limit those negative impacts and live in a manner that is both environmentally and economically sustainable. This summer 12 students will travel across the country on a recycled bus converted by students to run on waste vegetable oil and solar panels. We are looking to visit a diverse range of communities where we can become involved with hands-on projects, show case our sustainable systems and products and engage the public in discussions about environmental responsibility, the viability of alternative fuels, and tangible solutions to local and global energy issues. Feel free to take a look at our website for more information http://www.thebiggreenbus.org/.
