To Make A Farm (2012)
asks: what might the future of local food and farming look like? This
beautifully photographed documentary explores of the lives of five young
people who without farming backgrounds embark on making their farming
dreams a reality. Starting from scratch, they meet risks and challenges
of this demanding profession with imagination, passion, and sacrifice.
Intimate and beautifully photographed, this documentary offers a hopeful
look at small-scale food production in an age of industrialized
agriculture.
The Man Who Stopped the Desert (2010)
tells the story of Yacouba Sawadogo, an African peasant farmer who has
transformed the lives of thousands of people across the Sahel. His
agroecology techniques and his name are synonymous with reversing the
process of desertification. In fact, Yacouba has been described as
single-handedly having had more impact on conservation than all the
national and international researchers put together.
