Summary
Kristin Canty is the filmmaker behind "Farmageddon: the unseen war on American family farms." She is proud and pleased at how the documentary has shed light on the dangers of modern industrial farming practices. And yet now her life has taken a new turn; she has shifted from fighting those whose regulations threaten small-scale farms to running a farm herself. She now owns a farm and runs an organic/sustainable/local restaurant in New Hampshire.
You will be inspired by both stages of her life:
- how she took on the idea of making the movie, ignoring the naysayers
- how it had much more success than anticipated
- the influence of raw milk and traditional dietary practices on her son's health and, subsequently, on her lifestyle
- the movie's impact on the raw milk movement
- how/why she got into farming and the restaurant business
- why real food is a priority for Kristin and her family (and why it should be one for all of us)
