Filmmaker James Moll (Foo Fighters: Back And Forth) is teaming with the U.S. Farmers & Ranchers Alliance on a new feature-length documentary about twentysomething farmers and ranchers. The award-winning documentarian announced the project at SXSW through his Allentown Productions banner. The currently untitled docu will profile young agricultural pros “[and] the latest farming practices and technologies that are changing and improving the landscape of modern agriculture”. Moll has won an Oscar, two Emmys, and a Grammy for his documentary and music video work. His feature docu The Last Days was executive produced by Steven Spielberg, who also advised Moll on his 2004 Democratic National Convention John Kerry short A Remarkable Promise.

This organization USFRA is a front group for DuPont and Monsanto set up 2 years ago specifically in response to the documentary Food Inc.
Happy to see a documentary about production agriculture. Everyone likes to eat, let’s see what it takes to bring food to plate.
Looking forward to seeing this film. It is going to take younger Farmers and Ranchers to replace the aging population of today’s Agriculture.
It’s nice to see agriculture in the spotlight for its innovations!
Looking forward to seeing this. Appreciate information on farming and what it takes getting food produced.
I really like Moll’s Foo Fighters documentary, so I’m looking forward to his upcoming work.
Looking forward to this documentary!!
it’s great news to hear that agriculture will get a voice in mainstream media from a well-established and respected documentarian (if that is a word, ha ha). So often, Ag doesn’t get a chance to set the record straight on the facts when activist groups spew misinformation about modern-day production practices. This documentary should keep it real and confirm beliefs for the majority of Americans that still trust in our ability to produce food for an ever-growing population. I hope all aspects of agriculture today are represented, big and small, organic or conventional, etc.
The last several decades of ag production are a great story. As a young farmer involved in my family farm- I am thrilled that this documentary is being done. Humanity’s capacity to surpass expectations is the young farmer’s story
