BEST OF TOP 10 PICKS 2007 Santa Fe Film Festival. “Heart & Soil lives up to it’s name by drawing the audience into the context of time and place, as it covers topics ranging from soil science, husbandry and local and global climate to finance, education, nutrition yet also touches on the dark side of agriculture. “ Kate Lancaster, Santafean.
