    Important Content; Not much documentary artistry

    This documentary addresses some important issues in a decent way. I can't agree that the Green Power House is actually a closed-circuit system, as it requires biomass input. The filming itself wasn't very engaging. Overall, worth seeing.

    We must do better!

    Wow! My family & I learned so much from this excellent documentary. For instance, the UN estimates there are about 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth?! That is ALARMING, and totally unacceptable!!! That's in my children's lifetimes. We can do better, and future generations are counting on it. Do yourself, and your family, a favor - WATCH THIS! Soil health = Plant Health = Human health

    An urgent message within this movie

    Great movie, with such an important message to share. This doco moved and awakened me. The characters were relatable and so inspiring, illustrating that we each can, and must, contribute to the solution. The continued degradation to the environment is unacceptable and will end in our demise, yet the solutions are simple and attainable, offering such a beautiful and healthful way of operating. A must to watch, and include in the schools curriculum.

    Informative and uplifting. Required education for earthlings.

    Inspiring movie showcasing inspiring people who are contributing to change in the world and showing us how we can be involved in the solutions too. It is no secret (though not yet widely known) that industrial agriculture practices are toxifying land, water, air and food supply. A side effect of their industrial practices is a scary loss of topsoil yearly... food is made possible by soil. Lucky for us we can support and regenerate our soils and thus our local ecosystems. We can all contribute to the healing that needs to happen. This documentary tells the stories of people who are doing that and shows us how we can contribute! I highly recommend watching.
