Do Something Reel™ Film Festival at the Miami Beach Cinematheque: “The Love of Beer”
Sunday, October 21st
1:00 PM
South Beach, $18 for Movie & Brunch Box

 

The Do Something Reel™ Film Festival… a collection of provocative, character-driven films that focus on food, environmental issues and everyday people with a vision of making a world of difference.

 

THE LOVE OF BEER

When someone thinks of a brewer, they probably don’t picture a petite woman with red pigtails. But with Tonya Cornett’s amazing beers and growing collection of medals, things may change. From farm to consumption, women are fighting their way to become some of the most influential people in the craft beer world. Based in the Pacific NW, The Love of Beer follows these inspirational women as they struggle to end stereotypes, handle their rising fame, and raise families in a 21 and over lifestyle. They’re not doing it for feminism or equality—they’re doing it for the love of beer.

 

The films featured in Do Something Reel not only raise awareness around the issues, but also leave people feeling hopeful about the power of small changes. Whole Foods Market is a mission driven company and everything they do goes back to their seven Core Values, which includes caring for our planet and our communities. RSVP
