This excellent documentary has a convincing message: eating locally is healthier both for people and the environment. Featuring interviews with farmers, scientists, and dedicated local eaters, the film also educates viewers on shopping for local foods, establishing a garden, and the economy of supporting local farms. There is a plethora of scenes from large and small farms in which baby animals abound. Visually, the program is incredibly beautiful. The uplifting content focuses on the positives of local eating rather than the negatives of a more global grocery store diet. Recommended for YAs and older audiences interested in personal and global health.—Claire A. Moitra, Providence
