| Synopsis | The summer of 2009, famers of Paldang were spending a peaceful afternoon when the government suddenly blamed organic farming for severely polluting the waters with the announcement of the ‘4 Major Rivers Project’ master plan as well as a plan to build bicycle roads and parks on the Paldang ‘Dumulmeori’ organic farming area. For the past 30 years, the farmers of Paldang leased the riverside farmland once expropriated by the government and created an organic farming area. In order to protect water sources, the farmers banned all chemical fertilizers and agricultural pesticides. This film is about these organic farmers accused of polluting the waters and their 40 month struggle against the project to protect their farming land. |
