Doc Edge Festival 2023: Rachel's Farm

Film director and actress Rachel Ward is not the first person you’d expect to join a farming revolution. In this triumphant film, Ward voyages from wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture on her own rural property, to embracing a movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate.

A triumphant film, featuring intimate interviews with Ward, her family and the people she has been inspired by on her transition from the world of entertainment to the world of farming. It gives a unique insight into her voyage from wilful ignorance about the ecological impacts of conventional agriculture to embracing a movement to restore the health of Australia’s farmland, food and climate.
