“The Ripple Effect,” Border Free Productions
When Ben and Blair Ripple, two farmers in western Washington, traveled to Australia and Indonesia in 1997, the couple planned to learn traditional farming techniques from local farmers and to take those practices home. What they found instead was dramatically different. Kristen Kellogg’s short documentary captures the moving story of a classic reversal, in which the practices they came to learn become those they choose to teach. —Kim Fortson
