One Man, One Cow, One Planet (and one amazing New Zealander!)

"What does an environmentally sustainable food system that is capable of feeding everyone on the planet actually look like?"

"One Man, One Cow, One Planet" sounds like a great film (though I haven't seen it yet):

A review begins: "Peter Proctor is a 78-year-old with a glass eye and partial deafness. He is also widely known as the father of modern biodynamic farming, an arcane form of agriculture.

This film follows Proctor's journey to India where he works with marginal farmers to revive this traditional agricultural method to save their poisoned lands. It exposes globalisation's mantra of infinite growth for the environmental and human disaster it really is."

Watch the trailer.

There are 2 versions: 56 minute broadcast version, and 100 minute research or feature-length version.

I'm buying the broadcast version to screen for friends. If you buy the longer one, can we swap for a time?
