Great subject matter, for the most part it's coherently laid out; however, the quality of the sound and some of the editing just makes it painful to watch. I almost stopped half way through the movie. The music over powers the voices and continues to play when there just doesn't need to be music (or it just pops in
and out.) Some of the editing is disjointed and could have been laid out in a more pleasing way to the eye. Also there was just some information that could have been left out. When introducing a new character that has n organic farm, they decide to leave a semi humorous part in just for that. It didn't move the story. It wasn't until three to four minutes last you realize why he's a part of the film. The technical aspects just take you away from the subject matter; I feel that this movie could have been so much more. They had great people interviewed, found awesome footage, just really lacked the technical aspects to make it a great film to watch. I hope it was a great learning experience for the filmmaker to be able to produce something of much higher quality.
