Award-Winning Documentaries and Community Conversations
Floyd, Virginia – SustainFloyd has chosen five films to present for its 2012 Winter Film Series at the Floyd Country Store. Each film screening will be a community event with various food offerings and community discussions surrounding the evening’s theme. Film screening will generally begin at 7 p.m. and some panel discussions will follow the screenings for those who want to ask questions.
