From sourdough starters to crocks of kimchi, in kitchens everywhere, ancient microbial processes become modern acts of resistance, healing, and connection through the transformative act of fermentation
Fermenting Resistance explores the lives of individuals who engage in fermentation not just as a culinary practice, but as a deeply meaningful act of connection, care, and resistance. Mike Gill explores how fermentation shapes people's understandings of self, family, culture, and community, challenging everything we think we know about wellness, food systems, and social change.
A Winnipeg co-op shares sourdough regardless of pay. Korean-American brewers revive traditions disrupted by colonization. Winemakers cultivate forgotten grapes to defy climate threats. These stories reveal fermentation as political practice: a pathway to cultural healing, economic justice, and community resilience. The revolution is fermenting, one jar at a time.
