The Greenhorns: Yeah, I Want to See this Too

Okay, so apparently after a few years of avoiding them (or just generally not finding any that seemed of interest enough to sacrifice the time), movies are going to become my new thing. Or someone finally hit the "GO" button on movies that would interest me.
Enter The Greenhorns.
From PSFK:

Ever since the slow food movement came to prominence in the 90s, there has been a general shift in the way we perceive food and how we expect it to be produced. First, there was the whole fair trade thing, then it was all about being organic, now, it's all about being local - and one of the latest trends we've been noticing is young urbanites taking matters into their own hands, and growing their own food.

From the film's site:

A documentary film that explores the lives of America's young farming community - its spirit, practices, and needs. As the nation experiences a groundswell of interest in sustainable lifestyles, we see the promising beginnings of an agricultural revival. Young farmers' efforts feed us safe food, conserve valuable land, and reconstitute communities split apart by strip malls. It is the filmmakers's hope that by broadcasting the stories and voices of these young farmers, we can build the case for those considering a career in agriculture--to embolden them, to entice them, and to recruit them into farming.
