in Turin in 2008 was held on the second international summit called Terra Madre , very strongly wanted by Carlo Petrini, Slow Food's number one . At that time people from all over the world and with very different pedigrees - the campesinos in the world of equity and solidarity - stressed the urgent need to reverse the suicidal course that humanity is taking through misguided choices in the agro-food . Ermanno Olmi and his crew, also trying to bring order to the large repertoire of material gathered, documented that experience (which also participated in the President Napolitano) cucendola with external contributions, that of that of Piavoli Zaccaro. The operation, beyond the indisputable merits in terms of content, has been very successful in part. Firstly, because the mission itself is dull and does not add anything to those who going on sale, is not limited to the purchase of Viewed , Who or Novella 2000: the issues are very well known to those who have a minimum of foresight when he goes to the grocery store and in addition shall be accompanied by a good dose contandino rhetoric of the world. Then because the material - which mixes contributions documentary footage of Superquark , interviews and more - is organized in a desultory way. Nevertheless, there are moments of high school, from the palette of colors, faces and clothes of the participants at the summit, the moving speech of a 15 year old from Massachusetts, author - with his classmates - an experimental project that feeds the entire school until the end entrusted to The garden of Flora, a moment of very high tribute to the earth and its fruits movie unmistakable eye Franco Piavoli.
