SUMMARY:To Make a Farm - inspiring film about organic farmers in Canad
 a
DESCRIPTION:To Make a Farm\nVIFF Repeat Screenings\n(Canada, 2011, 80Â
  mins)\nHDCAM\nDirected By: Steve Suderman\n\n\n\ntomakeafarm.ca/\n\
 n\n\"It's pretty neat that your convictions can also be your life,\" s
 ays one of the subjects of Steve Suderman's documentary about small-sc
 ale organic farming. Here are people who've decided to put their money
  where their mouths are, turning their environmental idealism from the
 ory into practice as they set out to establish their own local-supply 
 food sources using sustainable means. We see trials, tribulations and 
 triumph: livestock illness, soil irrigation catastrophe, social isolat
 ion and more--but at the end of the day a strong sense of satisfaction
  and optimism. The film is an inspiring example in these days of socie
 tal apathy and corporate hegemony, with its subjects living testaments
  to the validity of Gandhi's dictum, \"Be the change you want to see.\
 "\nThe film gets personal, giving us a close-range view of humanity al
 ong with a detailed portrayal of the nuts and bolts of agriculture. Th
 e farmers come from various backgrounds and levels of relevant educati
 on, but they share a determination and generosity of spirit that's pos
 itively infectious. Environmentalist docs are growing in numbers as th
 e global situation worsens, but this one is exceptionally hopeful. It'
 s wonderful to see a film in which positivity and practicality are so 
 closely linked. What Suderman and his subjects are saying is “Your c
 onvictions can be your life, too.”\n\nTo check who else is going: h
