It's a pretty simple idea: Land, people, food, happy days.
Manipulative and one-sided just like a good "call-to-action" documentary should be. After multiple viewings, I freely admit that this doc kind of ignores pretty important things like, you know, law. Still, it highlights one of the lost arts of mankind: growing food for your family through sweat equity. My daddy may not be the most outwardly environmentally concscience individual, but this is one thing that he still does to this day. The backyard garden is where I learned many lessons about respect for the land, hard work, and sustainability. Anyone who denies the power a simple garden can have (regardless of the law in some cases), has simply never worked in one.
