I appreciated that this movie showed all ends of the spectrum and the viewer was left to form her own opinion. Very well done.

Gorgeous cinematography, relatable characters, and shockingly-unbiased. I'm amazed at how open the farmers were -- kudos to the filmmakers for creating an environment for intimate and honest conversation!
