Conversation with filmmaker Madelyn Kleinsasser on the making of this Humber College student film about they world she grew up in.

“With the recent spike in veganism popularity people are realizing the harm we are doing to this planet and think the solution to it is to quit meat entirely. This creates hostility towards conventional farmers and ones trying to help the environment as well the animals they care for. Megan Thomas, owner and operator of Perry’s Corners Farm and young mother of twin girls shares her story of becoming an organic farmer in Southern Ontario. She discusses the hardships and joys of organic farming while promoting the practice in the face of climate change. Showing the quality of life her animals lead, free of cages and hormones, in order to bring attention to the miserable lives’ animals have with conventional farming methods. She is joined by Johann Kleinsasser, a biodynamic farmer who shares his words of wisdom from years of experience in the field.”
