It's a pleasure to meet you!
I hope that you enjoy the film. We, as a film crew, tried to emulate the hard work, passion, and love that the indigenous farmers have for their land and crop. I sincerely thank you for watching their story.

We hope to continue creating films such as this one. This film catapulted our interest in indigenous culture and life and our desire to tell their amazing stories.

Thank you for you contribution, be it mindful or monetary.

Synopsis:
The Mother Grain is a documentary project about the rapid rise in the popularity of quinoa, focused on the lives and methods of the local Aymara and Quechua Bolivian farmers, who are descended from the Incas. Their Incan ancestors grew quinoa in the same area of the Andes Mountains as today's farmers and treated the grain with religious reverence. Even though Spanish Conquistadors of the 16th Century suppressed quinoa growth, cultivation and honoring of the food continued in small isolated communities until the present day. As the international consumption of quinoa rises, The Mother Grain looks at how this increased demand is affecting quinoa farmers. Bear Witness Pictures traveled to the Bolivian quinoa growing communities surrounding the Salar de Uyuni, witnessing their lives first-hand as we tell the story of quinoa from the perspective of the farmer.
