The New Alchemists

Henaut, Dorothy Todd, (film director.). Low, Colin, (film producer.). Chatwin, Len, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: At a farm in Massachusetts, a small group of people, including some scientists, explore possibilities for more humane, self-sufficient lifestyles involving interrelated food-producing systems and small-scale solar and wind technology. Their work is a model for others with the vision of a greener, kinder world and a taste for inventing the future. "Think small," say the New Alchemists. "Look what thinking big has done.".
