Film Synopsis: Award-winning director Ben Knight explores a national issue, magnified in the American West, around water scarcity, following a multi-generational Italian and Hispanic immigrant farming community living on “The Mesa” in Pueblo, Colorado. The documentary sheds light on their history and heritage, each family sharing their agricultural lineage, one that transcends every aspect of their lives, shaping their culture and livelihood.

Realizing an uncertain future due the West’s diminishing water supply, Williams Farm & Seed Store, Musso Farms, Professor Mike Bartolo and Martellaro Family Farms reflect on their passion to grow and nourish their families, communities and pastime.

Nationally we’re losing 2,000 acres of land each day. Produced by Palmer Land Conservancy, MIRASOL film explores how rural agricultural communities, and the food they put on our tables, is threatened by rapid development, population growth, climate change, and competing economies. MIRASOL challenges us to consider what’s at stake and whether we are willing to take action to protect it.
