It earned a glowing review from Digital Journal, and rightfully so, being described as “powerful and compelling.”

This film certainly deserves to be nominated for an Academy Award for “Best Documentary Feature.” It focuses on soil regeneration and regenerative agriculture, and it scrutinizes this topic from a historic, scientific, and contemporary standpoint, which makes it all the more compelling and relatable.
