Sovereign Soil, Amazon Prime
Slightly off-piste of our usual nightly watch recommendations is this documentary that’s just arrived on Amazon Prime.
In an isolated town in Canada’s Yukon, where subarctic weather and regular sub-40C temperatures hold a tight grip, this documentary follows four seasonal food producers and farmers, as they work for and with this seemingly unforgiving land to get a living and feed the community.
Advocating for a much closer relationship to our food and where it comes from, it’s a beautiful and calming snapshot of the resilience of both humans and nature to thrive under even the most unwelcoming places.
