I program environmental films at UW-Milwaukee in the Union Theatre for a series entitled Share the Earth Environmental Film Series. We have a great following among students and community and I know people would love to see this film. If you could let me know, that would be great. Sharing the Earth, Linda Hi there,

I am beginning to dream up and gather resources for the seed of an idea I have about making a film about wwoof farms (willing workers on organic farms) across the globe. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing to the project in any capacity. Concept: "WWOOF World 2012" Premise: Follows my journey traveling by bike and by cargo ship, wwoof'ing for two-week stints on organic farms throughout west coast North America, South America, Africa (Uganda, Kenya), India, Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and back to South America and then North America again. Angle: To show meaningful, exciting, soul-feeding travel and work around the world without the excessive use of fossil fuels, focusing mostly on the local food networks of non-western countries. Interviews: Organic farmers, locals from the communities, wwoof'ers themselves... Anticipated themes: Local food systems, food security, community, globalization, peak oil, volunteerism, travel and adventure, cross-cultural experiences, peace movements, spirituality, environmental issues, the inextricable links between politics, peace, human rights, and environment... Impact: To promote organic farming and to show how the Willing Workers on Organic Farms movement is taking off all over the world. I'm not totally interested in spending too much time in Europe, the States, or Canada - but who knows... Please give me feedback on my ideas. This is still brainstorming phase. I've created a mock-up itinerary. Let me know if you'd like to see it/add to it. Thanks! Peace, Aliza Hi gardening and cycling enthusiasts!

I am beginning to dream up and gather resources for the seed of an idea I have about making a film about wwoof farms (willing workers on organic farms) across the globe. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing to the project in any capacity.

Concept: “WWOOF World 2012″

Premise: Follows my journey traveling by bike and by cargo ship, wwoof’ing for two-week stints on organic farms throughout west coast North America, South America, Africa (Uganda, Kenya), India, Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and back to South America and then North America again.

Angle: To show meaningful, exciting, soul-feeding travel and work around the world without the excessive use of fossil fuels, focusing mostly on the local food networks of non-western countries.

Interviews: Organic farmers, locals from the communities, wwoof’ers themselves…

Anticipated themes: Local food systems, food security, community, globalization, peak oil, volunteerism, travel and adventure, cross-cultural experiences, peace movements, spirituality, environmental issues, the inextricable links between politics, peace, human rights, and environment…

Impact: To promote organic farming and to show how the Willing Workers on Organic Farms movement is taking off all over the world. I’m not totally interested in spending too much time in Europe, the States, or Canada – but who knows…

Please give me feedback on my ideas. This is still brainstorming phase. I’ve created a mock-up itinerary. Let me know if you’d like to see it/add to it.

Thanks!

Peace,

Aliza
