A vibrant portrayal of rebellion against the commercialization of agriculture,
Les Liberterres [Lands for Freedom] (2015) narrates the story of four farmers and their willing decision to forgo conventional methods of farming. Engaging with some never-before-seen archival material portraying science as a cure for world hunger and malnutrition, the documentary film narrates the stories of these provocative and moving characters hailing from European and African landscapes across four seasons. Directors Jean-Christophe Lamy and Paul-Jean Vranken draw attention to how the lives of even all farmers around the world link together through the language of the Earth.
