People tell their own stories, that follow the transition from large farms with a reliance on fossil-fuel based chemicals, to small organic farms and urban gardens. This film gives hope to the developed world as we wake up to the consequences of being hooked on oil. This is a story of a dedication to independance and the triumph over adversity. There will be a dedicated discussion, led by Wilf Richards, following the film.
