Some things are worth eight years of remembering.
We think we are close to the land — we eat what it grows every day — yet we rarely stop to ask: what is the soil beneath our feet going through?
Filmed over eight years by 顏蘭權, director of "無米樂", "種土" goes to Yanchao in Kaohsiung to record the everyday lives of 安和哥 and 阿仁 as they tend the land. They talk about how soil needs air, pores and looseness — and invite us to think again:
if the land needs to breathe, what about us?
Do we, too, often fill our lives too full and push ourselves too hard? Perhaps when we are willing to slow down and see the land again, we will also discover how the small choices of everyday life can have a wide impact.
Join us for "種土": through the film and the discussion with the director, look slowly at the land, and see how caring for it can become part of our everyday lives.
