20051 h 29 min 55 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Eve Lamont
Production: Colette Loumède (National Film Board of Canada)Sylvie Van Brabant (Les Productions du Rapide-blanc)Nicole Hubert
Produced by Les Productions du Rapide-Blanc in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada, with the participation of Québec Film and Television Tax Credit - Gestion SODEC, SODEC - Société de développement des entreprises culturelles - Québec, Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit, in co-operation with Télé-Québec.
In this documentary, crop and animal farmers in Quebec, the Canadian West, the US Northeast and France offer solutions to the social and environmental scourges of factory farming. Driven by the forces of globalization, rampant agribusiness is harming the environmemt and threatening the survival of farms. The proliferation of GMO crops is a further threat to biodiversity as well as to farmers' autonomy. In Europe as well as North America, a current of resistance bringing together farmers and consumers insists that it is possible--indeed imperative--to grow food differently. The Fight for True Farming is a film of grim lucidity but also irrepressible hope.
