Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
CSA models exploded post-2008 financial crisis as mutual aid responses to industrial agriculture collapse — this film captures that specific European moment before 'farm-to-table' became marketing speak.
Director Anne Closset spent three years embedded with these farms and originally planned a series before realizing one tight feature told the story better. The 67-minute runtime was a deliberate choice against documentary bloat.
