Farmers Helping Farmers is an organization of twenty farm families from Prince Edward Island who are helping counterparts in Kenya and Tanzania to realize their dreams. In this film, African and Canadian farmers tell how they came to be involved in the organization, how it has changed their world views, and the impact it has had on their lives. An inspiring film, it shows how development on a small scale can succeed where large, multi-million-dollar efforts fail.
