The Need to Grow

My partner and I watched this film a few weeks ago and were incredibly moved by it. I'm a holistic nutritionist and coach (and lover of nature) and I truly appreciated all of the information, stories, and beauty in the film. And while I had anticipated that it would be informative, I hadn't expected the incredible emotional impact it would have-as deeply as I experience nature, I had no idea how much I would cry during a film about soil! Thank you to the whole TNTG team for doing what was clearly a TON of hard work to provide this film to people. The information in this documentary is absolutely vital, and I hope every single human watches it!

This documentary addresses some important issues in a decent way. I can't agree that the Green Power House is actually a closed-circuit system, as it requires biomass input. The filming itself wasn't very engaging. Overall, worth seeing.

Inspiring movie showcasing inspiring people who are contributing to change in the world and showing us how we can be involved in the solutions too. It is no secret (though not yet widely known) that industrial agriculture practices are toxifying land, water, air and food supply. A side effect of their industrial practices is a scary loss of topsoil yearly... food is made possible by soil. Lucky for us we can support and regenerate our soils and thus our local ecosystems. We can all contribute to the healing that needs to happen. This documentary tells the stories of people who are doing that and shows us how we can contribute! I highly recommend watching.

I bet the one star rating is a glyphosate salesman. This is a wonderful movie, explaining history and our farming mistakes and how to fix everything!

Great movie, with such an important message to share. This doco moved and awakened me. The characters were relatable and so inspiring, illustrating that we each can, and must, contribute to the solution. The continued degradation to the environment is unacceptable and will end in our demise, yet the solutions are simple and attainable, offering such a beautiful and healthful way of operating. A must to watch, and include in the schools curriculum.
