About the films

Greenhouse by Joost follows Joost Bakker as he builds a self-sustaining home, an ecosystem that provides its occupants with water, energy, shelter and nourishment. Bakker is joined by internationally acclaimed chefs Matt Stone and Jo Barrett, in this uplifting look at the teamwork and ingenuity behind a paradigm-shifting project that bursts with life.

In the triumphant film Rachel’s Farm, director and actress Rachel Ward 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.
