On Thursday, February 4, we premiered 10 Billion: What’s on Your Plate? The movie, directed by Valentin Thurn of Cologne, Germany, attempts to answer the question: how will we feed the 10 billion people estimated to inhabit the earth in the year 2050.
As the only member of the production living in theĀ US, I was asked to represent the movie and participate in the post screening Q&A. We had an excellent turn out of about 200 attendees. That night it was the red carpet and a salute to Johnny Depp. Among those in attendance: Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges, and Leonard Maltin leading the Q&A with Depp. Check out the photos on Getty Images.
