"As I watched Eating Alaska, I kept thinking of the issues raised in your film and how relevant they are to our conference. This film will resonate with the small farmers who grow and market their products, school administrators interested in sourcing nutritious, local food, and policy makers working on making those connections."
-Sherrie Beyer, Coordinator Wisconsin Local Food Summit.
"It's hard to eat local in Alaska if you're a vegetarian. While exploring Americans' relationship to food, this film also creatively challenges our notions of how women nurture. Eating Alaska is an amusing and thought-provoking resource for discussing our assumptions about gendered behavior and women's relationship to the natural world."
-Sharon Gmelch, Professor of Anthropology
University of San Francisco
"Often humorous and light-hearted, it still addresses a serious topic, which affects us all."
-Port Townsend Film Festival Viewer
"In Eating Alaska, Ellen Frankenstein takes us on a locavore's odyssey, searching for the meaning of place through the foods we eat. Not content with simple answers, Frankenstein poses the provocative questions many of us avoid asking as we navigate the current culinary terrain. Funny, engaging, thought-provoking and refreshingly personal, this film takes us on a heartfelt quest for ethical eating in a challenging and uniquely magnificent land."
Jessica Prentice, author of Full Moon Feast: Food and the Hunger for Connection, and coiner of the word locavore.
