we watched a documentary named Age of farmer this week, which is filmed by Spencer MacDonald in 2015, and it was telling the story of the farmer, who has the average age of 65 years old, however, this documentary shows that there is a problem towards the replacement and supply of young farmer to the farmer. The director Spencer MacDonald has travelled to the Northwest of Pacific to document the thinking and thoughts of the young farmer. In order to get in touch with the farmer life, the director lived with the farmers. Unlike most of the documentary, this documentary does not depict the nature as the utopia untouched by man. Rather than this, this movie is telling us that human beings are connected to the society. They are made of the trees, rivers, and crops. It reminds us that human beings are connected to the earth and they are living to connect the planet. This documentary is very inspiring at this point and it makes us know how to keep the focus on the film beautiful imagery. From my point of view, a good documentary should regard the world to be an important place for us. I was impressed by the profession of the author since, in order to capture the real moment of the farmer, he went to the first site of the farmer, and he was very interested to find how their lives would be.
