In the Our Land in Transition documentary mini-series, the Brower Center and the Agrarian Trust explore the future of American farmland and farmers. Through two fascinating documentaries, audiences will encounter a first-generation farming couple who left the urban areas of their youth to found a biodynamic dairy (Brookford Almanac) and a lifelong rancher turned “eco-cowboy” (Hanna Ranch).
Part two of the series, Hanna Ranch is a feature documentary about visionary cattleman Kirk Hanna and his personal struggle to protect a once prominent way of life in Colorado. Born into a life on the family ranch, he became a leader in the environmental ranching movement that set out to protect the West from the relentless encroachment of development and misuse.
Featured in the book Fast Food Nation and dubbed the “eco-cowboy,” Hanna was an early adopter of Holistic Resource Management practices, sat on numerous environmental boards, and was president of the Colorado Cattleman’s Association. At one time, many saw him as a future governor of Colorado--and then his dream of harmony and sustainability was interrupted by the reality of family conflict and mounting threats to the land. (73 min)
Followed by a roundtable discussion on contemporary issues in ranchland stewardship and access with the Greenhorns Director Severine von Tscharner Fleming, Morris Grassfed Beef’s Joe Morris, Paicines Ranch’s Kelly Mulville, and Local Futures Founder Helena Norberg-Hodge.
