This week I watched another documentary from Campfire Stories; this one is called Into the Soil and is directed by Mattias Olsson, like Once Upon a Forest, which I watched last week. This is a 31-minute-long film about Brigid LeFevre, a biodynamic farmer in Sweden. On YouTube it is described like this: "This is a story of circular economy, radical simplicity, and why real abundance begins underground," which I think is a pretty good way to put it.

It is an interesting film, and like Once Upon a Forest, it is beautifully shot. I've now seen two of the Campfire Stories films, and they really remind me of films from Happen Films. These two film companies are doing quite similar things in many ways; both do films about people and nature. About people that are working the land in a more holistic way than the usual monoculture farming. They don't go into that debate theoretically, but by talking to people that are living, working, and interacting with nature in that way. Fascinating stuff.

I can't say all their films are great, simply because I haven't seen all of them, but what I have seen are just so well made, interesting films. For those that want to find out more about them, they have these websites, and both have YouTube accounts where you can see a lot of their films.
