The New Alchemists

Overview

This short documentary profiles a community engaged in developing sustainable living methods, including food production and small-scale solar and wind technology, on a farm in Massachusetts in the 1970s. Well before sustainability was a mainstream concern, these prescient innovators attempted to create a vision of a greener, kinder world. ""Think small,"" say the New Alchemists. ""Look what thinking big has done.""
