This Good Earth

We know what the corporate oil and food giants and politicians are doing day-by-day, because we see the melting poles, the raging fires, the hungry children and the obese patients, and the people who have salvaged only their memories from their washed away lives. We know that the corporations and the politicians rely upon us to think of those who have suffered in other parts of the world as ‘the oth-er,’ people whose plight we needn’t concern ourselves with. This film is about the reality of global warming, impoverished diets, and rising hunger, disease, and deaths, and also about loving and conversely about insisting that the only way to maintain one’s dignity and humanity is to resist, but also to turn away from their impervious brutal order and to build a new and better alternative. It’s a hard-hitting film, offering solutions told by bakers, farmers, doctors, scientists, health officials, and leading experts on food security, human rights, and justice.
