From the Land to Your Table is the first documentary of its kind in that it shows the perspectives of seven majorly talented filmmakers and directors from all over Latin America as they capture the conditions and cultural diversity of popular produce markets in their individual countries. Each segment in this brilliantly executed documentary smorgasbord retains its own unique style and tone as it leads the viewer through the fascinating stories of the foods that eventually wind up on our tables. "The tomato goes from the plant to our table". This was the starting point and from there every participating country tells its own story. In the meantime, a whole new world starts to reveal itself in every chosen character, in every image, in every search and in every intention, leading the viewer through diverse economic conditions and the fascinating life stories of both the foods that we eat, as well as the people who sell and produce them.
