User Reviews

Back to the Garden... a Moving, extraordinary film...

I was so moved and delighted by this extraordinary film... such a clear and persuasive story of authentic people living lives on the land they love.

Persuasive because our own life choices and integrity come into focus as the film dances among themes of family, community, conformity, spontaneity and beliefs...

I'm sure the film will move others to reflect upon their own paths as it makes its way through the world...Bravo! Superb! Love, Henry
