Negative Positive
Title: Inspiring
Review: In the 1980s I vaguely remember hearing about how small farms were being replaced by more efficient large farms. At the time I supposed it was progress. The documentary "Fresh" made it clear to me how mistaken I was. I was just a little kid in the 80s, so I have that as my excuse for not paying attention at the time. According to Ana Sofia Joanes, the documentary maker, we have no excuse now. It's all too obvious that government regulations and subsidies that support industrialized agriculture have created one of the greatest risks to our health. The doc focuses on interviews with farmers, many of whom tried to go along with federal government programs and who found the system seriously flawed and foolish. Joe Salatin is the best known farmer interviewed in this doc. He advocates a real common sense approach to farming that is also economically viable. "Fresh" is refreshing to watch.
Is the review positive or negative?
