A majestic journey through Japan, Korea, and the United States that
turns our perceptions of food (and life) upside down in a simple and
poetic way. Solutions for our most pressing social and ecological issues
come from unexpected places in a bite-sized film that New York Times
bestselling author Alicia Bay Laurel calls “beautiful … both art and
documentary.”
First time directors Patrick M. Lydon (USA) and Suhee Kang (Korea) weave breathtaking landscapes and an eclectic original
soundtrack together with stories and insights from an inspiring cast of
natural farmers, chefs, and teachers who give modern-day relevance to
age-old ideas about more sustainable, regenerative, and harmonious ways
of living with the earth.
Officially released on January 1, 2019, this film is an abbreviated
version of the acclaimed environmental documentary Final Straw: Food,
Earth, Happiness (74 min / 2015). It has been edited by the directors
for public and classroom use.
