University of Central Arkansas alum Zachariah McCannon teams up with a UCA anthropology prof Brian Campbell in a new documentary, about preserving and sharing seeds from heirloom vegetables. “Seed Swap” will premiere on the Arkansas Educational Television Network (AETN) on Monday, May 7 at 9 p.m. The film follows Dr. Campbell as he organizes the inaugural Ozark seed swap in Mountain View, Arkansas. This is a film about conserving biodiversity at a community level. Over the two-year course of the film, that first seed swap breeds seven other seed swaps, shedding light not only into the importance of preservation, but into the self-sufficiency of Ozark Culture.
