As the international consumption of quinoa rises. The Mother Grain looks at how this increasing demand is affecting quinoa farmers. Bear Witness Pictures traveled to the Bolivian quinoa-growing communities surrounding the world's largest salt flat, the Salar de Uyuni, witnessing their lives first-hand to tell the story of quinoa from the perspective of the farmers themselves.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This documentary succeeds where so many mainstream media outlets have failed. While reputable organizations continue to perpetuate the same lies and falsehoods about farmers and Bolivians, The Mother Grain actually went on location to the quinoa growing region of the Andes to discuss many of the surrounding issues regarding the rise of quinoa. This documentary engages directly with the farmers to gain their perspective detailing everything from their farming practices, cultural and religious beliefs, to their living conditions. Well researched, beautifully shot and well executed. A must see movie for people who care about knowing where their food comes from. Highly recommended.
