Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
aeromoe Great documentary...I would recommend anybody watch and take note. Let's just hope the destructive comet or meteor (that is alluded to near the beginning of the story) destined to strike earth doesn't wipe out this effort. A lot of time is spent with the peoples of Peru and their potatoes but that really doesn't detract from the overall message.
JustCuriosity Seeds of Time was well-received at SXSW Film Festival where it managed to shine a bright light on an under discussed element of the climate change debate. How do we preserve and protect the diversity of our food supply against the encroaching dangers posed by the disruptive weather patterns to our supply of food? How do we make sure that there are enough varieties of potatoes and rice, etc. to resist the threats of pestilence and drought as the climate changes around the world? An almost invisible effort has been made to preserve these seeds in seed banks around the world with a "vault" inside a mountain in Norway. These efforts are crucial to the future of the planet and yet they are severely underfunded. The film is told through the eyes of agricultural scientist Cary Fowler who puts a human face on the issue through his worldwide efforts on this issue. Seeds of Time is beautifully filmed with natural photography from across the US, Russia, Peru, Norway and numerous other locations. Food security is at the heart of the survival of the planet and this is a vitally important issue for us all to learn about. I hope that this documentary gains a wide audience.
