Following the screening, Dr. John Herzog of Falmouth will discuss his personal and professional connections to "Forks over Knives" and Dr. Reuben Bell and Tom Lizotte, of the Mayo Regional Hospital, will answer questions from the audience.
Free Little Lads popcorn will be offered during the film, with Little Lad's vegan finger foods served during the talks that follow.
