Suderman, Steve. To Make a Farm. Winnipeg: Orangeville Road Pictures Ltd., 2011. HD, 74 min. https://youtu.be/dJR3cuWfJvQ.
Starting a farm from scratch takes more than just imagination, but it’s a good place to start. Often considered a way of life from the past, today there is a movement of young people without farming backgrounds taking up this challenging profession. To Make A Farm follows the lives of five such young people through their first seasons on the land, as the joys and disappointments of bringing life from the earth become a quiet manifesto for social change. Documentary filmmaker Steve Suderman searches his own family history in farming to wonder if the mistakes of the past can be avoided this time. (Source: Doc Studio)
