This movie put a smile on your face with the understanding of how the conventional agribusiness machine works, because you will know you don’t have to be any part of it. The hope and inspiration will have a lasting impression. For our health, our children and our future. I highly recommend the whole family come, watch and be inspired. Karen Stark, Geneva Green Market, NFP
