“What kind of world do we want, and what will nature require of us?”
-Wes Jackson
A feature-length documentary taking viewers into the restless and relentless mind of ecological visionary Wes Jackson, founder of the regenerative agriculture movement. A MacArthur “Genius” Grant and Right Livelihood Award recipient, Wes has been lauded by the Smithsonian, The Atlantic and The New York Times, among many others, and named “One of the 18 most important Americans of the 20th Century.”
For over 50 years Wes has been warning about our current ecological crises and working to change not only the way we farm and feed ourselves, but our understanding of humanity's place in the world. His powerful insights have inspired scientists, farmers, ranchers, educators, artists, and community activists dedicated to global ecological sustainability.
