    An urgent message within this movie

    Great movie, with such an important message to share. This doco moved and awakened me. The characters were relatable and so inspiring, illustrating that we each can, and must, contribute to the solution. The continued degradation to the environment is unacceptable and will end in our demise, yet the solutions are simple and attainable, offering such a beautiful and healthful way of operating. A must to watch, and include in the schools curriculum.

    We must do better!

    Wow! My family & I learned so much from this excellent documentary. For instance, the UN estimates there are about 60 years of farmable soil left on Earth?! That is ALARMING, and totally unacceptable!!! That's in my children's lifetimes. We can do better, and future generations are counting on it. Do yourself, and your family, a favor - WATCH THIS! Soil health = Plant Health = Human health

    A must-watch!

    My partner and I watched this film a few weeks ago and were incredibly moved by it. I'm a holistic nutritionist and coach (and lover of nature) and I truly appreciated all of the information, stories, and beauty in the film. And while I had anticipated that it would be informative, I hadn't expected the incredible emotional impact it would have-as deeply as I experience nature, I had no idea how much I would cry during a film about soil! Thank you to the whole TNTG team for doing what was clearly a TON of hard work to provide this film to people. The information in this documentary is absolutely vital, and I hope every single human watches it!

    Excellent movie. Use for homeschoolers.

    I bet the one star rating is a glyphosate salesman. This is a wonderful movie, explaining history and our farming mistakes and how to fix everything!

    Important Content; Not much documentary artistry

    This documentary addresses some important issues in a decent way. I can't agree that the Green Power House is actually a closed-circuit system, as it requires biomass input. The filming itself wasn't very engaging. Overall, worth seeing.
