Island Green (2013)

This short documentary examines the evolving agricultural landscape of Prince Edward Island. Historically known for potatoes and red soil, the island province now faces elevated rates of cancer and respiratory illness. The film explores a potential connection to industrialized farming, questioning PEI's current reliance on single-crop farming. Instead of focusing solely on these concerns, *Island Green* asks: Could PEI transition entirely to organic farming? Featuring the powerful voice of PEI poet Tanya Davis alongside evocative visuals and personal stories from the island’s expanding community of organic farmers, the film highlights the limits of exploiting the land and the importance of its health for our own well-being. Ultimately, *Island Green* is a story of optimism and a vision for a healthier future.
