According to scientist Cary Fowler, humankind is faced with a “perfect storm” of disastrous scenarios: overpopulation, water and energy limitations, rising food prices caused by low stock piles of food, and consequent civil unrest. Our lifeline? Seeds. By halting the extinction of the seeds of some of our most common food staples we can attempt to save ourselves before it’s too late. In this beautifully crafted film, director Sandy McLeod takes us around the world, from Peruvian potato fields to an underground vault in Norway, to create a moving portrayal of life on our planet that extends beyond one man’s quest to save seeds. Through a variety of interviews with indigenous people, scientists, and food activists, McLeod shows the importance of Fowler’s project on a global scale.  AM
