Small Farm Rising follows a group of first-generation farmers from three unique farms as they carry plants, land, and animals through an entire growing season. These modern small farms have robust business models, sustainable practices and deep connections to the communities they serve: a goat farm that produces award-winning cheeses; a horse-powered CSA (community supported agriculture) farm which provides 100 members with a full diet year round; and a vegetable farm run by two young entrepreneurs. Filmed in the Champlain Valley and Adirondack Mountains of New York State, Small Farm Rising explores the reinvention of small-scale agriculture in America, and the hard work and beauty found within that tradition.

En el año 2000 Terry Gilliam intentó llevar el Quijote a la gran pantalla en un proyecto llamado "El Hombre que Mató a Don Quijote". Sin embargo, una serie de desgracias para la historia del cine hace que nos tengamos que conformar con el documental "Lost in la Mancha" de Keith Fulton y Louis Pepe sobre el rodaje de éste magnífico sueño de Gilliam en España. En él veremos como los técnicos se desesperarán por el modo de trabajar de Gilliam, una mente caótica y genial donde hierve una imaginación desbordante. Además, el equipo de rodaje se enfrentará a una serie de desgracias inverosímiles; tendrá que luchar contra estruendosos F16 del ejercito español, tormentas apocalípticas en las Bárdenas y el actor principal, Jean Rochefort, (FILMAFFINITY)
