Final Straw: Food, Earth, Happiness

Year: 2015

Duration: 75 min

Reviewers have called the film 'Salvation for the Urbanite' and 'Fantasia meets Farming.'Developed around Masanobu Fukuokas seminal book 'One Straw Revolution,' the Final Straw is a contemporary re-telling of age-old ideas about food, ecological connectedness, and personal happiness. The warm cast of natural farmers, chefs, and teachers takes audiences on a journey through Japan, Korea, and the United States, where majestic landscapes and an eclectic soundtrack illuminate a brilliant yet maddeningly simple path to sustainability and well being for people and the environment.Honoring intuition, cashing in their life savings, and walking away from their salaries in Silicon Valley and Seoul respectively, directors Patrick M. Lydon and Suhee Kang have devoted the past three years to creating a film that will leave you inspired, happier, and perhaps even motivated to make a few changes in your own lifestyle.
