- Summary:
- My Farmland explores how Chinese national and Chinese immigrants' investments are affecting traditional Canada's agricultural sector by following three families: two in tiny farming communities, the other in the wine-making region of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. The film tells a very human story of how communities react to an influx of people from a different culture who hope for a better life by working the land. With intimate and unique access, the film captures the subjects' deep emotional journeys in a changing world and the challenges both cultures face in the agriculture business. My Farmland delves into many sides of this complex, unfolding transition. Is the increase in foreign ownership resulting in xenophobia or racism? Can two very different cultures find common ground and work side by side?
