Manuel Rozental had suggested that those of us who live in cities connect with those who live in rural areas. Our opportunities for such connections are expanding with our new farm near Oliver, British Columbia, as you know.
Sunday night I discovered a movie that might be another great resource for us. Grace picked out “Biggest Little Farm” from the Netflix menu and it was a brilliant choice. It’s a documentary narrative, with the themes of biodiversity and harmony, which are made explicit more than once in the film. A young couple rescue a dog from an unhappy ending, and the dog provides a thread for the narrative. When the dog reaches old age and passes away, the young couple’s firstborn child picks up the narrative thread. The farm becomes a connecting point for lots of young people.
The film must have been something over a decade in the making. Here is the trailer:
Here is an interview with the couple who established the farm:
Each of us who watches it will experience this movie in a different way. I would very much enjoy hearing what you think of the film if you have a chance to watch it. If you have already seen it, please share your thoughts.
