Reviews

Farming may seem prosaic to the uninitiated, but "Seed: The Untold Story" reveals the poetry present in the practice through its smallest element.

Kimber Myers, Los Angeles Times

A model of scientific insight, story-telling and cinematic panache that reminds us that the future of life under capitalism is guarded at best.
