    EVERYONE MUST WATCH....RIGHT NOW.

    What an incredible documentary. There was so much quality information, great story telling, and most importantly...SOLUTIONS. It also hit close to home since two of the featured people are from the area I live in. It has activated me to want to get involved with changing some policies in our area to make food quality a priority and doing what we can as a community to reverse climate change. I also absolutely loved learning about the Green Power House and would love to help get these made and implemented all around the world. This documentary made me hopeful for our future, only if we start making changes now. There are so many opportunities to get involved. Watch until the very end to see how you can help positively impact your life, your community, our country, and the world.

    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!

    Gallant effort, falls short

    Admission: I only made it halfway through this movie.

    Why?: I'm really sick of wasting my time on stuff that doesn't get to the point in some logical way.

    We jump from soil to The Green Powerhouse without really consolidating the position on what's important and why.

    There's so many interconnected messages that don't connect, focus and hit that your brain just gives up, eyes glaze over as you watch the next individual get their 15 minutes.

    Maybe I'm the average audience, maybe not.

    But I'm less interested in the personalities - in fact I don't give a damn about self promotion - as it removes the focus from the process and the benefits.

    More science please and less guff.

    There's a significant part of me that also wonders that if this is such an ongoing thing then why hasn't it proliferated given the years since the documentary was made?

    I don't buy the fact that it's suppression from GMOs.
