If you're looking for inspiration to chase your 2020 dreams while laying on the couch for just one more night, streaming this documentary could do the trick.
After a barking dog forced eviction from their Santa Monica apartment, Emmy-winning wildlife filmmaker John and traditional food chef Molly bought 200 acres of land outside of Los Angeles and set out to be organic farmers. The Biggest Little Farm chronicles the struggles and successes of their eight-year journey.
Unlike other food and farm movies, this is not a fear-based doc. The conflict doesn't come from greedy corporations, but from birds, rain, lack of rain, and coyotes.
It's a beautifully shot film about a couple chasing a dream with the help of their community — and Mother Nature. (Available now on Hulu. Available to rent on Amazon Prime and YouTube.)
In a nutshell: A deliciously feel-good documentary worth a watch during the winter months.
Award potential: With wins at Sundance and Palm Springs, The Biggest Little Farm is a contender for Best Documentary Feature Academy Award. In December it was announced as one of the 15 films that will advance for voters. Working against it? The too-sunny soundtrack may be tough to swallow for the doc voters.
The Ten Buck Review: Worth ten bucks.
