“To Which We Belong”
USA, Feature Documentary, 2021, 89 minutes
Years of industrialized agriculture have been a major contributor to the climate change crisis. But now there’s hope, as a new generation of farmers and ranchers seek to rebuild their businesses and the planet by embracing the interconnectedness of living things.
On land long depleted by single crops, Trey Hill fills the fields with colorful tangles of plant life, reviving the soil and bringing new richness to the harvest. In Mexico, Alejandro Carrillo practices revolutionary techniques in cattle herding, carving out space for wildlife to thrive again. And off the coast of Connecticut, Bren Smith re-seeds the ocean with kelp, mussels, oysters, and scallops, restoring ravaged ecosystems. These unsung heroes just might save their livelihoods—and our world itself. In this time of turmoil, it might be the best news you receive all year.
Directed by local filmmaker Pamela Tanner Boll. Film to be followed by audience Q&A.
