Classic Movie: ‘Rachel’s Farm’

“Rachel’s Farm” is for anyone who cares about how their food is produced, how degraded our soils have become, and the changing role of women on farms.

Film director and actress Rachel Ward is not the first person you’d expect to join a farming revolution. In this triumphant film, Rachel voyages from wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture on her own rural property, to embracing a movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate. This documentary features intimate interviews with Rachel, her family and the people she has been inspired by on her transition from the world of entertainment to the world of farming.
