Without going deeply into the current disconnect between humanity and mother nature-Nicolas Humbert brings us a documentary about the flora that seeds itself in fallow and abandoned land and the people that have chosen to save it and live in harmony with it. Wild Plants is a film with a lot of potential to educate and inspire, but fails to show us the value of the earth and the power of living side by side with it. Farming cooperative Jardins de Cocagne in Geneva, and urban gardeners in post-industrial Detroit are shown. (
