During my time as an intern at Stone Soup Films, I got to do second camera work and some of the editing for this short profile of University of DC professor Mchezaje "Che" Axum, an agronomist who is working on building people's capacity to grow high-nutrient density foods in urban areas, as part of Stone Soup's DC Heroes series. One of the things I loved about him and his work was the fact that he is also raising awareness about the early Egyptian roots of sustainable agriculture, as well as the complicated history in the U.S. of black people's relationship to farming. And as an academic myself, I am well aware that there is often not only no reward for university professors to engage in public, civically engaged scholarship, but often such activities are frowned upon. Dr. Axum is doing amazing work.
