THINK GLOBAL, ACT RURAL
by Coline Serreau
Synopsis: Explore the very concrete local solutions to the global ecological mess. What are the common points between the millions of landless workers of the plains of Brazil, a couple of microbiologists in France, the world’s biggest organic plantation in Ukrane and Vandana Shina’s experimental farms in India? Their struggle: a better soil quality and a wiser access to seeds. Their goals: agricultural self-sufficiency and a better use of limited resources. Multi-awarded filmmaker Coline Serreau, who started her career as a militant documentarist, returns to her grassroot techniques: she travels the world in search of those who respect the soil and sheds a new light on the multiple initiatives that will allow everyone to answer the key question: “What can I do to save our planet?”.
