Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie

Part Five - Ceres' Children

Take a deep look at some of Vermont's cherished traditions: participatory democracy and the conservation ethic. We capture 21st century debates over natural resources, how these concerns originate in the ethics of farmers who depend on the natural world for their survival. The disappearance of dairy farms raised a tough question: how big is too big? How can Vermont survive in a world economy?
