According to Whole Foods Market, the showing is "part of a nationwide crowd-sourced effort to spark a national conversation about how animals are raised for food in America." The film will be shown at AMC Aventura (19501 Biscayne Blvd., Miami) and AMC Coral Ridge 10 (3401 NE 26th Ave., Fort Lauderdale).
Coral Gables' Dine Out 
Don't make plans for your midday meal this hump day. Dine Out, which will take place during lunchtime this Wednesday, encourages diners to eat out at their favorite Gables restaurants to show public support during the Streetscape renovations and counteract the perception that these restaurants might be closed or difficult to access during this time. The heaviest concentration of Streetscape construction will be on Giralda between Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Galiano Street, near restaurants such as Threefold Cafe, the Local, Talavera, the Bar, Divino Ceviche, and La Dorada, which all remain open. Dine Out asks lunchers to grab a meal between noon and 2 p.m.
