NO LAND NO FOOD NO LIFE
Very important documentary that balances first- person accounts from farmers and some industry representatives with an overview of the political and economic forces surrounding the issue.
✮✮✮1⁄2
T’Cha Dunlevy, THE GAZETTE
The best documentaries leave viewers with some rather strong feelings, typically outrage against a devastating problem. No Land, No Food, No Life does just that, exposing the disgusting practices of huge companies, as well as the terrible devastation they leave in their wake.
