S M It started off pretty good and with decent information, but it felt a lot more like scare mongering. As you watch it you see that it's just another way to make money. It feels like they are saying "nature is good, but we can do it better." Let's take another chemical process and market it up as natural. Plus, we can generate electricity. More than solar panels. Maybe so, but you have to pay to be part of that system. It is no different than electric companies, just more natural. (Or so they say) Permaculture is more like nature. No chemical processes, just plants working with nature the way they are meant to without extra input and at a speed exactly like nature intends. Nothing good comes from modifying nature. She works at a pace that is healthy. We can learn a lot from her without modifying it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Brevin B Learned a lot. I wish they had the music or soundtrack credits listed somewhere. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/23 Full Review Nikki Fantastic Doc! So refreshing to see people working for solutions. I learned a lot - plenty of good information from experts about the state of our world and food system. Add to that great individuals and storyline driving the doc to keep it exciting. Loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/20 Full Review James Pure fluff with so little content presented besides a handful ofttrue believers saying "take care of the soil and buy my products" such as a soil enhancer and biochar. Stats are given without sources...A infocmercial masquerading as a "documentary" Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Marcela C That was the best documentary ever!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/19 Full Review Marijose Inspirational movie, the best I've seen in a while. It poses the greatest problem this world is facing and yet gives hope and ideas for change and leaves you with a deep sense of responsibility for the future. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/12/19 Full Review Read all reviews
