The film "What's Organic About Organic?" - co-produced by Marty Mesh, a locally based former organic farmer and executive director of Florida Certified Organic Growers and Consumers Inc. - examines organic farming and its effects on society. It will be shown at the Hippodrome State Theatre starting at 8:25 p.m.
