TRANS PECOS | THE STORY OF STOLEN LAND AND THE LOSS OF AMERICA’S LAST FRONTIER - WITH SUPPORT FROM PATAGONIA

In 2016 a natural gas pipeline began construction through Far West Texas where no large scale oil and gas infrastructure existed previously. The community quickly became divided over the need for the pipeline and how to navigate other oil and gas exploration on the horizon. - Winner "Creative Storytelling Award" - EarthxFilm Winner "Best Documentary & Cinematography" - Golden Nugget International Film Festival - Website: www.transpecosdoc.com

FARMER’S FOOTPRINT | SHORT DOCUMENTARY + STILLS CAMPAIGN

Farmer’s Footprint is a short film addressing the health impact due to chemical farming and the rise in Regenerative Agriculture. Over the last 20 years we have seen a dramatic change in the demographics of chronic disease in the US. The epicenter of these epidemics has become the southern states along the Mississippi River. Independent research from private and university laboratories around the world have begun to implicate glyphosate as a primary culprit. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the ubiquitous herbicide ‘Round Up’ that has infiltrated the majority of our food, water, air and rainfall.

Our film features the trials and learnings of the four generation Breitkreutz family from Stoney Creek Farm transitioning from conventional farming to regenerative agriculture in Redwood Falls, Minnesota. Using conventional methods they saw their soils degrade and their input costs rise every year. Transitioning to regenerative practices has helped their row cropping operation, the reduction of input cost for their cattle along with recognizing a complete shift in the health of their farm’s ecosystem.
