Join us for a delicious special presentation of MetroEast Community Media's new, locally produced docuseries, FOOD FORAY, including food and community conversations with the filmmakers (including director Ivana Horvat) and participants.

FOOD FORAY explores different cultures through the eyes of immigrant foodies. Join them as they wander through the aisles of international grocery stores, cook authentic meals, and sit around the table with friends, family, and the show’s host, Jessica. The first three episodes explore cuisines from Oaxaca, the Republic of Georgia, and Myanmar.

And of course it wouldn’t be a feast for the senses without enjoying food that's featured in the episodes and community conversations with FOOD FORAY participants and creators!
