Death in the garden

And the way that the economy is functioning is having this effect where it is making it harder and harder and harder for the masses to actually be able to control where their food comes from.

And that's something that was always interesting to us with Death in the Garden.

And You know, I think what made making Death in the Garden the film so complicated for us is that once we started to sort of, like, peel back the layers of the food system, it just became so much deeper than we ever could have imagined.

And really, it is...

Without having an entire civilizational economic analysis, it's really hard to understand food and really hard to understand the way that food interacts in our lives because it is so deeply entrenched within the global system.

And so, you know, when we were trying to do Death in the Garden and just trying to be like, let's talk about death and let's talk about how we get food and, you know, what does it mean to be a human being that needs to eat? It's like entangled in all of these other systems that we didn't create, but yet we are at the mercy of every single day of our lives every time we take a bite of food.

And so, yeah, so food is huge and hugely important.

Yeah, and it's huge because you have the reductionistic facts of food.
