I had never even heard of the movie before. Thank you.

I think you should be a "trend setter" and get the movie. Then let us know what you think.... :-D

Bought and watched it.  It was well put together and edited and they did a great job of interviewing folks.  You felt like you were just getting to know the beekeepers and the lives they lead UNTIL...blammo...the movie was over... at roughly 25 minutes.  It could have been a great in depth documentary on the lives of migrant beekeepers and CCD.  I was riveted and then was very disappointed at the short length.  I'll probably donate it to our beekeeper club.

Yea...I believe the guys that did it were a couple of grad students, and I am guessing it was some film studies project.  Don't get me wrong; it's worth checking out.  It's just they could have made it into something big and they didn't...that's my disappointment.  Considering the vast subject matter experience in this forum and after over 100 reads nobody else apparently has heard of it demonstrates its short reach.
