More about the film:
Terra Madre (Mother Earth) is a bi-annual multi-language conference hosted in Torino (Turin) by the Slow Food Organization - a network of food communities, each committed to producing quality food in a responsible, sustainable way. They aim to foster discussion and innovation in the related fields of gastronomy and ecology and global economics.

This film starts out as a documentary of the 2008 Terra Madre conference in Torino, presenting stimulating views on the importance of bio-diversity, and working in harmony with nature. Director Ermanno Olmi builds masterfully on his theme, confronting the fate of the planet. The film then gloriously morphs into a beautiful and poetically slow experience of food cultivation in harmony with nature-- an unforgettable and thought provoking experience.
