Symphony of the Soil is a Beautiful Film Documentary
Posted by John Freeland
I can’t say enough about this film made by Deborah Garcia. Symphony of the Soil is available here through October 10 for free viewing. The film has wonderful macro and micro videography and a tremendous sound track. The passion these scientists providing narrative have for their subject comes through loud and clear.
I try to stay away from superlatives, but can’t help it with this documentary. Watch the film. If you like, you can buy it here.
