Newsletter #4: The Hands that Feed Us starts filming in 9 days
I'm back. I'm still planning to do everything I said: Make a documentary and take it across the country to raise awareness about the difficult finances of farming. And I'm starting in 9 days.

The Lands that Feed Us
The Lands that Feed Us is a spin-off project of The Hands that Feed Us, that is specifically designed to get funding from Telus StoryHive.
