Nourish Peterborough is a documentary film that follows ten unique community groups from Peterborough, Ontario who are advocating for food security and sovereignty. These are programs that have a substantial influence on many people's lives, though many of them go overlooked and/or underfunded. The film provides a platform for these organizations, giving members, participants, volunteers and staff, a louder voice in the community.
