Every person in this film is white?
Would be posible watch it with spanish subtitles?
@@vanssacaballero1530 We've just added Spanish subtitles :)
@@Michael_McMillan Hey Michael, thanks for raising this. The lack of diversity is one regret we have about this film. While we did attempt to include stories with people from different ethnicities and backgrounds, it didn’t come together for us and now when we reflect on it we frankly didn’t try hard enough. If we were making this film today it would look very different and we’ve since made a commitment to ensuring our films reflect the diversity of our community.
@@happenfilms Keep striving to be better! I enjoy your videos.
"Waste is a human concept - Nature doesn't do waste" I love that! So simple, yet it describes both the problem and the solution so clearly.
There is also no such place as "away". People "throw things away" and imagine those things no longer exist, but they do, and that has become a big problem!
There are certainly animals and plants that have excess production/resource use that dominates and alters the local environment. So perhaps calling the remnants of our excess production waste is what the actual human concept is, and not necessarily creating the excess.
@@kittimcconnell2633 I'll never forget seeing Goldie Hawn in the 70's who was depicted as a dummy on Laugh In TV show...
In one of the first environmental awareness commercials I'd ever seen.... Goldie asked innocently, "Where is away? " PROFOUND. And yet here we are. Still behaving as if Away is a legitimate and proper handling of our waste.
According to China Nature and Uyghurs are overrated! The Great Reset Collapse only benefits the ones with a three million man army and many of the Worlds muppets in their pocket. Let me know how that kale-christ theology works out for you. sjs #UnfortunateReality
@@dustinabc Yes, as it plastic air, water, earth and precipitation.🙄
Still dominating and altering the *global* (aka, humans' 'local') environment... and all who rely upon it.
Grew small backyard garden, been eating and preserving vegetables all summer, compost, substitute plastic. Don't walk into grocery store, pesticides and processed foods. Lost 50 lbs., take me off medication. I feel an urgency, I'm 64, hoping to find peace in nature, with animals and self sustainability. I do feel alone in a materialistic world, grew up in country.
Thank You for being helpful. You are appreciated by mother nature and you are not alone.
Hello from Alaska Deborah Carter you are not alone
I continue to do more each year. I am only one person, but I plant diverse trees indigenous to our area every year, I teach the values of diversification & an arboretum indigenous to our area. I recycle and I aim for a zero carbon footprint. I have added exterior insulation, interior insulation, roller shutters, awnings, rain water collection reservoirs and NON GMO heritage brand organic gardens. Every year I add something new. We can do this.
@Susan Anderson wonderful work, its a great thing to have security of a home base that you can *build on* with changing how things are done. Those who don't have security, who are in the private rental market need a helping hand from the rest of us... such as rezoning regulations successfully used in Portland Oregon to create affordable, sustainable housing *in places where housing already exists*. Community led conversion of poorly functioning estates into high functioning social and garden-productive areas in their localities. THAT i find very inspiring. Because it won't be until *everyone* can access what is currently only available to the settled, and relatively affluent portion of our society - that things will really change. I like the Portland model of transformative local government, responsive to their communities call for doiing things a little differently to achieve a hugely changed and incredibly positive outcome for residents.
@@pipfox7834 Here here!
Solid absolutely solid 🙏
@@pipfox7834 Yes, my son and I are in crisis housing after the public trustee stole everything from us. I’d love my own home…
Susan, great work. You are one person plus…..the change must come from the people because the evil and greedy who benefit from the current system aren’t going to fix anything.
The power structures today are built on money and oil. The people together can topple the system.
This documentary has become the catalyst in my taking action to build a food forest in the property left to me by my late father. Permaculture farming here I come....
That's great to hear!
🌱So many people doing amazing work to raise awareness. Happen Films, love to see you join with Conscious Planet Save Soil Movement, as have the producers of Kiss the Ground. United we can implement change in a big way ☘
Best wishes!!!!
I’m right behind you dude. This is my plan now.
I don't have a large land but a small plot that is my backyard. I am determined to make it work.
Thank you so much for this documentary! I finally understand what is this missing part in my life. No matter what I did in my life, how hard I have worked, how much I have demanded from my body in sports, how many things I have purchased and then sold again. If you cannot connect with nature you will never be complete. What really opened my eyes was this phrase:
"The reunion that we long for is unavailable to us.
That is good for business because it drives consumerism, it drives acquisitiveness
it drives greed, it drives all kinds of neurotic behaviours
that seek to compensate for the missing relationships."
Yea that’s the same phrase that got me. Like I haven’t been able to put into words but that’s exactly it!
Great to be reminded that there are many, many GOOD things happening in our world; many, many good people leading the way and shining their light. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
'Do what the soft animal of our body loves!'
I'm grateful to live in Oregon's green Willamette Valley, be able to garden and have access to a year round farmers Market.
This year I moved to my a little house at my daughter's, and have begun new gardens. I also tend a raised bed tea garden, (square, about a meter across) as part of a 28 bed 'Edible Landscaping' project - in spring we give away over 3000 plant starts and in fall produce ... town residents can stroll the street and pick what's ripe.
The project is a subset of Zeros Waste, which was begun by a fellow whose family heritage farm was next to the town dump. After returning to our community, he worked to find more sustainable solutions for Reducing, Reusing Recycling and composting.
I firmly believe that individuals, families, neighborhoods are best off if we take responsibility for our basic food security. Grow, forage what will keep you fed. ‘Trade” for the extras - spices, sugar, flour- nice to have but you can live with out. There are obviously barriers, not the least of which is control of land by people who don’t need it for food….yet. I so much appreciate this discussion.
I cried a tear or two for humanity after seeing this program. People in this frame of mind should be the ones on the helm to lead us and the world. Thank you for airing this wonderful way of lifestyle where everything wins in terms of creation.

Peaceful, non-greedy, giving people won't ever be the ones to assemble vicious armies. So we'll forever remain.
Those magnificent landscapes make my heart so peaceful that I can't doubt that my place is among trees, hills and rivers that give us everything we really need.
Heard this quote which completely changed my views. Why sustain something degraded when regenerative is easily reachable. Much love!
Beautiful stories. I would have loved to see more representation of positive changes being made by the urban (84%) and rental (33%) dwellers of NZ. It's such a wonderful privilege to own your own home, be allowed to keep animals, and be free to modify the dirt as you please. How might the rest of us move towards positive change within our means?
WEF says those people can help too by eating bugs
@@konigvonpreuen8065 just need to decide who is the bug eh?
Maybe look for and approach a Community that can help you find a financial way out?
I'm in the UK and here is the Low Impact organisation.
Thank you for releasing your art for free. I need to be able to share this broadly. It is a testament to your interviewing and editing skills that this documentary explains so many complicated systems and their interactions so clearly and concisely.
All of these ideas are so creative and inspiring. I love that they all saw a problem and offered a solution, not because they have a "talking head" telling them this is the solution, but rather have created their own communities of like-minded people that isn't driven by greed and financial gain 💛
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring guys! We all need to join hands to drive this change around the world! Cheers from Canada!
What a beautiful world it is if all of us are doing our part to save mother nature in a simple way of living🤗🤗🤗
"Find and trust what feels aligned with what you really are. If you live by that and spread that vibe and other people living like that - then the whole planet's gonna change."
Everyone, especially those in the developed world, needs to watch this. Absolutely wholesome💚
This is all bullshit and people in the developing world would be hurt the most if these idiots had control of policy. these people are radicals, alarmists, and they’re also communists. if they actually told you what they believe and their policies Third World countries and poor and disadvantage people in other places around the world such as America Europe etc. are the ones that are gonna be hurt the most! Their policies will destroy capitalism and only a handful of elites would be left benefiting. These people are nut jobs! But they do a great job making it sound like they know what they’re talking about. No they don’t. They’re bullshitting you with empathy and emotions and feelings rather than facts and data and science.
I am creating a home, avoiding landfills, and used wood, and furniture, and terrace community gardening, and health retreats for stress, to incuclcate lifestyle habits, and set up bee homes and bird houses.
This is one of the most inspiring documentaries I've ever seen. Thank you!
Thank you!
Love and inspiration is what humanity needs right now. We're headed into the abyss, however, we CAN make change, you just need to want it bad enough 💛
We need indigenous stories
We cannot step back, but we can protect the remaining environment and sustainably use them.
This film has just given me such a deep and profound inspiration to change how I choose to live my life. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing it with the world 💙
so awesome!! Beautiful people! thank you so much! My partner and I are travelling the world, to find the right place, where we can buy land, build our spiritual eco ranch and start a Community 💕
Love this. would love to see a post covid update and how these small farms are eleviating the pressures of supply chain issues in their local communities
If they designed their farms substantially then they should be no issue in the beginning they talked about how everything is done to not sell outside real resources. That's how my small farm works.
I'm growing baby formula.
*alleviating
Thank you for telling the stories of all those people, allowing us a taste in the richness of their impact. I am grateful for your contribution to our world 🌎 ❤
Should be shown in cinemas for free!
Donation
Just finished watching this. It echoes my own heart's cry.
I enjoyed seeing all these different projects and the comment in the end "trust what feels good to you and trust what feels aligned who you really are". Thank you for all the input in making the film and for sharing it here.
I've watched the videos that you have previously presented with the families & individuals who have made & are making a positive change.
This video should be watched by everyone on the planet, especially the big companies that are ravaging our earth for their monetary gain & power.
Great work, thank you!
Well done! Now let’s all begin. How may I serve my community in some small way each day. What can I grow and share with others🌻
I wish everyone on this planet think like these like-minded people in this film just beautiful🥰. I just started my garden wish I had the money to move to the country that's what my heart yearns for
I'm deeply grateful for this documentary! My heart is full and open from the resonance and recognition of the real truth and beauty! Thank you and piles of love from Estonia!
Well this is just BEAUTIFUL! I live in a flat but I have a allotment … and I’m never happier than when I’m there with my fingers in the dirt.
I’d prefer a bucket of chicken shit over a gift of jewelry any time 💕💕💕
I love you people.
I'm amazed by this wonderful film and the lifestyle I always wants to . Thank you very much. ❤
this documentary is absolutely amazing. im currently living in east africa trying to make a change. raising funds for community challenges isnt easy, but dollar by dollar we'll get there. thanks for this guys, a truly inspiring film.
So many good souls and positive vibes gathered together here! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this with us all. Happy anniversary to your company!!!
Inspiring in the face of the mess we are in around the world. Keeps us keeping on.💚🌱💚🌱💚
Beautiful video with inspiring stories by real people practicing sustainable activities in New Zealand.
Thank you so much for educating the
world about living for change and this is actually living,not relying on every material thing that money can buy. It's a holistic way of living.
Very inspiring. Thank you for truly setting a wonderful example of saving our planet.
what a wonderful documentary, truly blown away! I got very emotional, because of feeling trapped like many of us, but I know one day I will break free and connect to my roots again, back into Mother nature arms!
Extra ordinary wisdom on how to live a simple but happy way of life. I agree wholeheartedly that we should love ourselves and also love and take care of the planet. Use only what you can consume and leave the rest breathing, growing, living in the ground. There will be less waste and a better and healthier future for us.
Thank you. Very inspiring... May the light , love for mother Earth and common sense of what is shown in your video multiply accross the world of today.... 2022. - I will certainly spread it.
Amazing film. Thank you!
What you both are putting out there is so very crucial in our world right now.
Time for change.
Beautiful and inspiring.
Well done.
💯✔️ 🌱🍃☘️🌲🌳🌵🌴🔥🌡️thank you from Alaska many home grown farms are around me. Alaskans are trying soooo hard to improve our eco system for more farms. I support buying produce from organic and smaller farms
I am a never Amazoner. I do not buy outside my local
It's amazing and gives me a wee bit of peace of mind
Beautiful informative …… now to start !
This documentary is food for the soul. There is still hope. This is inspiration for my future actions. Thank you from Italy
I believe excess consumerism has a huge impact on climate change. Recycle and re-use of ALL material should be of upmost importance. Too many people purchase disposable items or uneccessary items that end up in landfill. Many want the latest or biggest item on the market whilst their used article is still functional and/or useful for example analog tv for a big screen Smart tv.
Thank you for putting all of this knowledge and inspiration together and sharing it 🙏🏽💚
That's why we started our CSA market farm and do no till reganative agriculture to promote soil health. Our soil is so important and people don't understand that. We have alot of work ahead of us all. Our society today has been programmed to think everything has to be perfect.
Much love and light my beautiful brothers and sisters !! One life one love one change at a time
I've been watching this film in parts. And I'm so excited to see the positive act's. 🙌
Thank you both for doing your part to bring to light the change we as humans so desperately need. Your videos are all so wonderfully done and incredibly inspirational! Cheers to you! It's comforting to view other like minded people from all parts of the planet recognizing the breakdown in our societies, and seeking change. We are all in it together, one heart/mind at a time.
Without God the coming together of like minded people can create a hell on earth. The breakdown of society today is an example of this.
Thank you you amazing souls for your shining examples of how this world could, in fact, *needs*, to look. And thank you film-makers for making this available to us. People need to know this is possible and achievable 💚💚💚
Thank you!
This was wonderfully made! Thank you, I feel at home with many of the people who appeared in this documentary. Working on getting myself completely self-efficient!
Couldn't be more important, or better said! Hopefully it will soon be internationally spread!
Happy Birthday Happen Films! We love you! You are doing great things in the world! Many happy returns!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is beauty and truth and the only way to move foreward to sustain life on Earth
So emotional and inspiring.... 💛 thank you, keep on sharing your work, it really makes the world change 💚
Thanks! This documentary and all the people in it, has shined a bright ray of hope for the future of this planet and all the species that call it home. It has definitely brought light into my dark corner I have put myself in. Thank you 🙏🏽
What a beautiful and insipring Film, Thank you so much for posting it for free. Amazing work.
The first 20 minutes of this video is nothing but gloom and dispair. after 25 minutes I'm still looking for the inspiring stories.
I'm back with a better attitude. I need to hear this information. I've wanted to turn my one third acre in zone 10b into a permaculture, food farm for my daughter and her kids. I'm going to be doing this by myself and I'm overwhelmed. Thank you each for your stories. I once loved gardening, preserving, cooking, sewing, etc. I don't do anything anymore because of depression, social anxiety and isolation. I'm inspired by the video stories and viewers' comments. I'm so fortunate to give this a second go. I learned a lot and needed to see that others are realizing their dreams by giving back to the earth. Thank you all.
You guys are making a positive difference! Blessings! 😊
Very inspiring movie, much needed. Thanks a lot.
Hooray! Happy birthday to Happen Films! Your work is very much appreciated by me.
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Beautiful! Inspiring! Well done! A deep bow!
Thanks without end 🙏❤️
Thank you for doing this work and sharing this with the world. ☺️
Thank you for this precious gift. Much love.
May all live in Abundance!
Oh my heart ❤️❤️❤️ this is such a wonderful film! I watched it immediately after the OCC's "radical hope" video and together i feel like they have woven a kind of protective cushion of hope around my heart, especially after such a heavy day. I'm sharing widely!!
That's lovely to hear, thank you!
Thank you for another fantastic and inspiring documentary. 🥰
Thankyou for the free screening. That was beautiful and inspiring. I especially loved the communities creating thier own currency. And the properties transformed from near nothing
THANK YOU ! Acutally brought some tears of joy, hope and love in my eyes...
I love how the word 'inter-being' captures the dynamic essence of who we are-truly we are not just a part of Nature, we ARE Nature. Thank you for this wonderful documentary that deeply resonates at so many levels!
Fantastic! Informative, entertaining, great filming and editing and some lovely familiar faces too.
Thank you so much Jordan and Antoinette.
Thank you. This film showed up in our feed right when we needed to see it.
Awesome thank you 🙏 I’ll be watching this more than ones
Thank you for sharing this _/\_
Some of the parallels are in the book called “WILD KINSHIP: Biophilia, Inner Knowings and Our True Nature”
The book talks about many of the things we don’t even talk about, for instance how our own biology is rebelling against this “unnatural” way of living. And the strength we have when we align ourselves with who we truly are as human animals.
Who is it by? I can't find it. Thanks 😊
Thank you for your amazing videos! You guys are making a huge positive impact! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you so much for making this film Free! I enjoyed watching it and have been trying to become more self-sufficient, and being more nature minded. It is everyone's duty to take care of this planet, and our own little space that we habitate. This film has given me more ideas on what I can do to improve my own life of lowering my footprint.
An amazing initiative and great description of how a sustainable world can be envisioned. Thank you so much for sharing this work!
Thank you so much. This was very well thought out and put together and truly inspirational.
Thank you for nourishing me with a sense of hope inspiration and community
@Linda Kinda you might also like to check out Small is Beautiful, by EF Schumacher. This classic book is one of the early signposts for those of us who were starting out in life in the seventies and eighties. Basically, very similar message to this video series.

Wow, this is hugely inspirational! Can’t wait to share it with as many people as I can🙌🙌🙌🙌👌😍😍😍👌
Superb piece of work guys. Great editing and presentation.
Thank you so much for sharing this uplifting video. 👍
Great, beautiful film!! Thanks for making it possible.
Amazing documentary. Thank you.
i like the soundtrack, enjoying the film
👍👍 Excellent work with this film 😀 I like how it is presented by the different views of our current reality. It does not say that this or that are the ultimate solutions to climate change or food economics or natural resources abuse. Instead it presents the viewers of a very promising possibility - what if each individual, on this only planet we've got, wakes up to the reality of our global crises and do our parts, big and small, in averting a humans-made disaster and at the same time bring ourselves closer back to Eden, the paradise God created in the very beginning? And all we have to give up in exchange are our greed, selfishness, arrogance and indifference. I wonder what the world would look like if land was equally distributed to each family, not as "property to own" but a sustaining treasure to steward, where they grow food for their own needs and the needs of their local community.
So grateful for this doco. Thank you ....from Australia. There is hope. I am inspired.
Beautiful film, thank you.
We've been having this huge party for 100 years on fossil fuels, and we are nearing the end of that party
And the next party wouldn't be possible without the energy we've used and lessons we've learned in this party.
Not 'nearing' the end - the party ended hours ago, the house burned down, the SWAT Team is here, and the neighborhood has evacuated. But the rich folks in the biggest house on the block are still carrying on as if everything is fine.
@@olyguy2000 truth
We still have thousands of years of fossil fuels left. We will run out of lithium (for batteries) way before fossil fuels.
