Following the screening, Producer Jeff Ubben (Little Saint) will sit down with Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite to catch up on the film and any developments from the investigation. After their chat, head to Little Saint for an Afterparty with the filmmakers and AVFest crew. Book dinner reservations with the Little Saint team in advance by clicking here.

FILM SYNOPSIS:

The Grab follows award-winning journalist Nathan Halverson and his team at the Center for Investigative Reporting as they crack open a story of epic proportions. Leaked documents reveal how the world’s most powerful countries are secretly purchasing land, food, and water outside their borders in anticipation of future shortages. It’s a global land grab game where the stakes are literally life and death. Unspooling like a thriller, Gabriela Cowperthwaite (Blackfish) keeps viewers on the edge of their seat as she presents a gripping and incendiary wake-up call on the scarcity of natural resources and its impact on the world order.
