Recommendations from Our Members – Worth a Watch

June 2026

Year: 2025How to watch: YouTube, Bullfrog FilmsWhat is this film about? This  105 minute documentary focuses on the critical role of insects and  invertebrates in ecosystem sustainability and their rapid decline. The  film explores the urgent need to understand and reverse the extinction  crisis facing these small organisms.​Why did you like it? Why should someone else see it?​It is  profound both in its relevance to the decrease in biodiversity but also  in its prescient nature. This is probably the most important film on  biodiversity and the risk we as humans are facing because of our damage  to it._________________________________________________From Christine Feely​Here’s a great film that I can heartily recommend.​Title: The Biggest Little Farm​Info of note (director, cast): John Chester, documentary filmmaker, and his wife, Molly.Year: 2018​How to watch: YouTube, Fandango at Home, Google TV, Apple+ (OK, Amazon Prime too, but I don't use Amazon)What is  this film about? John and Molly Chester transform a depleted, arid,  industrial farm into a diverse wildlife habitat and working farm over  the course of 7 years.​Why did you like it? Why should someone else see it? Their ambition, the tremendous effort  it took, the setbacks (a plague of large snails is one), and the beauty  and bounty of the farm that resulted from the efforts is amazing. Their  belief in the importance of restoring a diverse ecosystem and the amount  of sheer hard work is remarkable, and the results of their work and  perseverance are inspiring. (Also, there are dogs!)
