GREENER PASTURES

Directed by Samuel-Ali Mirpoorian, Hugo Perez | 82 min | USA

Greener Pastures is an urgent look at American farming, told through the stories of farmers living at the intersection of climate change, globalization, and a mental health crisis. Through an intimate lens, we examine farm stressors, policies, and politics farmers must maneuver to survive, connecting the dots between mental health, industrialization, food production, and climate change. It is a brilliant and very timely story of perseverance, patience, and determination that tackles nothing less than the future of farming in America.
