Roger B @RT24361432 Jul 6 This is the best, most beautifully filmed documentary I have ever seen. And perhaps the most important. Heart warming and sometimes heart wrenching, this is a must see film that everyone needs to see. You won’t be disappointed! See more Lee N @RT18668732 03/22/2025 Everyone can learn from this film. Everyone! See more Kyle M @RT77296778 08/03/2024 Gripping poetic narrative and enriching ideals demonstrates the value in life’s trajectories with contributive sustainability beneath the worthwhile story of nurturing strength in accommodating differential lifestyle, successfully grew this to be one of the purest documentaries focusing on the little things leaning towards meaningful proportions – minus facing cruelly decisive obstacles. (B+) See more KB B @Okbullard 02/17/2024 This was a very informative and enjoyable film. It's definitely worth the watch. See more Georgan G @RT98616417 02/16/2024 A great documentary about how farming should be part of the entire ecosystem. Watching this happen over many years it is heart warming. See more Tricia O @SerenitySeeker92 02/11/2024 Very good, but it's a tear jerker. You'll root for them and cry with them, but you'll understand that it takes time to develop a self-sustaining as well as profitable farm. As they learn on their journey, so will you. Great documentary. See more Read all reviews
