First We Eat
As a preface to the conference and an opportunity to meet fellow participants, we kicked things off with a meet and greet hosted at the historic Palace Grande in Dawson City. There, we held a film screening of “First We Eat,” a film that follows the journey of a family as they dedicate themselves to eating only locally produced food for an entire year in the Klondike. Director Suzanne Crocker joined us to offer insights and engage in a discussion about the film.
