In biblical terms, Goshen is a place of good pastures. For centuries, the Copper Canyons of northwestern Mexico provided the indigenous Taraahumara people with food, exercise, and community support they needed to thrive. Protected from the outside world, these subsistence farmers shared a lifestyle that also contributed to their reputation as natural athletes and endurance runners. A simple diet of the tres hermanas (squash, corn, beans), along with days of chasing goats over the hills of the canyons, made this remote area one of the world's few "cold spots" for disease, with diabetes completely unknown. Now, climate change, drought, and famine have had a significant impact on this ancient culture. Interviews with researchers and runners who admire and want to protect the people, the land, and their traditions combine with striking photography and a New Age sound track to tell this timely and melancholy story. Footage of the graceful, colorfully dressed, and nearly barefooted Tarahumara in the act of running is a joy to see.
VERDICT Recommended for general audiences with an interest in the benefits and challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle in an unhealthy world.

Homestead Honey Hour fans will remember that Dana and Sarah were guest on the show in Feb. 2013, to talk about their upcoming trip to the Copper Canyons of Mexico, to video the last indigenous tribe of North America, the Tarahumara. They’re back and ready to report on their experiences! The Tarahumara are noted to be fleet of foot, and are known for running tirelessly across rough terrain. Sarah and Dana are gathering the last of the funds needed to tie up the loose ends, and get the finished product ‘Goshen’, into our hands. They’re anxious to share what they learned about these amazing people who are free from heart disease, type II diabetes, and cancer. GOSHEN unveils the mystery of how to establish healthy, sustainable communities that can survive, even thrive, despite the global increases in famine and diseases. LISTEN to the show in the player (left)! |
SUSTAINABLE FOOD TRUST ENDORSES GOSHEN FILM
GOSHEN is a captivating documentary, following the remarkable story of the indigenous Tarahumara tribe. Renowned for their incredible long distance running, the Tarahumara have fought tirelessly to protect their indigenous culture, and in doing so have also managed to stave-off the top three diseases of our time – type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease.

FILMMAKERS GO BAREFOOT FOR FUNDS
by Dick Watson
Gettysburg Times
January 8, 2013
Raising money takes work. Doing so barefoot adds a new dimension to the task. The documentary producers who filmed and made Back to Eden in Gettysburg say their new project is "Goshen." Mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 45), the Land of Goshen was occupied by the Hebrews from the time of Joseph to the Exodus. According to filmmakers Dana Richardson and Sarah Zentz, "We view 'Goshen' as the next chapter to 'Back to Eden,' which has streamed online for free more than one million times in 150 countries since August 2011." The new film will focus on several communities of the Tarahumara, an indigenous Native American tribe in Northwest Mexico in the remote depths of the Copper Canyon in the Sierra Occidental Region.
"We're focusing on them because they are a step ahead of most developed countries in their resistance to diabetes, cancer and heart disease," said Richardson. Zentz added that, "Their resistance to these diseases is directly linked to the diet and active lifestyle of the Tarahumara (translated as foot runners and those who walk well...)."

MOVIE REVIEW
By Erica Parker
Several weeks ago I saw a very interesting documentary and it has been on my mind since I saw it. The documentary is titled Back to Eden and it features home gardener Paul Gautschi and others who have discovered the benefits of using wood chips in the garden. I know this might not sound very exciting, but the documentary takes a very holistic and common sense approach to the subject of gardening in tune with nature that makes it worth watching.

See ‘Back to Eden’ Film to Learn About Using Wood Chip Mulch
By Barbara Pleasant
As a big fan of wood chip mulch, I watched with great interest the popular documentary film Back to Eden, the first-ever feature-length movie on mulch. The Back to Eden film profiles the wood-chip-mulched garden of Paul Gautschi, a devout Christian who grows vegetables and fruits on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. The film’s producer, evangelist Michael Barrett, wisely enlisted the help of Dana Richardson and Sarah Zentz of ProVisions Productions to make the film, which can be viewed free at backtoedenfilm.com. The result is an interesting 103-minute film that balances Gautschi’s religious interpretation of wood chip mulch with comments by soil experts, organic farmers, and the stable owner where Gautschi gets his horse manure.

FILM REVIEW
by Philippa Jamieson
January/February 2012
Volume 71; page 56
This US documentary focuses on the organic growing practices of Paul Gautschi, who asked God and looked to the Bible for guidance in how to grow food, and found that
nature has all the answers. He realized that the forest floor with its layers of duff or mulch provided the most wonderfully rich soil that was continually being added to. He replicated that to some extent in his vegetable garden and orchard. Paul advocates no digging, and using cover (mulch) of various kinds; fairly fine wood chips (and compost) being his preference. He and several others expound on the benefits of this in terms of water-holding capacity, soil structure, mineral uptake, higher nutritional quality and no problems with weeds, pests and diseases. Surprisingly he reports that plants supposedly requiring different pH levels all do well with the same mulch.

Streaming online for free 24/7, the film is a gardening resource that teaches how to eliminate all of the work associated with growing food! Following in the footsteps of Ruth Stout (No Work Garden Book) and Masanobu Fukuoka (One Straw Revolution), Paul Gautschi is leading a new revolutionary movement in the organic gardening community. Endorsed by the National Gardening Association, Organic Consumers Association and featured in magazines such as Mother Earth News and Organic Gardening NZ, the film is continuing to impact the way food is grown around the world.

Over the Garden Fence: 'Back to Eden' teaches to mimic nature in our gardens
by George Weigel
Patriot News
It’s all about the cover. In a nutshell — or more accurately, a woodchip — that’s what Paul Gautschi says is the secret to gardening. Mimic nature by covering the soil with leaves, woodchips and similar organic materials, and gardens all but care for themselves, says this Washington state gardener who shows us how in a new gardening documentary with a central Pennsylvania connection.

by Julian Cribb, Author of “The Coming Famine: the global food crisis and what we can do to avoid it”
In coming decades the world faces enormous challenges in feeding itself. Not only will our demand for food double – but many of the basic resources we use to produce it will become scarce, including land, water, oil and petrochemicals and fertilizers. We need to reinvent agriculture to a form that is sustainable and not reliant on things that run out. That is more in tune with natural systems. We also need a cleaner, healthier and more nutritious diet than our present one, which is costing so many lives and causing so much ill-health. Paul Gautschi is a man committed to this dream; through sensitive observation of Nature and hard, intelligent work he has developed a self-sustaining food producing system which operates on many of the principles required by this new agriculture. His bountiful garden is a place that inspires faith in our common future.

MAD MOMENTUM
by Christina Miller
As a team of collaborators we do not stop often enough to appreciate how Radical Jewelry Makeover has evolved since it was piloted in Richmond, VA in the winter of 2007, but this blog entry is a celebration!
Yesterday (9/12/09), several people who have been significant contributors to RJM's momentum converged at theMuseum of Arts and Design in New York City for the museum's "Jewelry Study Day". RJM and Ethical Metalsmiths were represented in two ways. The first event was the second public screening of the new video, "Radical Jewelry Makeover: a traveling community mining and recycling project" and the second event, attended by over 75 people, was a panel discussion featuring Ethical Metalsmiths' Co-director, Susan Kingsley.
The line-up of panelists from left to right: Susan Kingsley, Robert Ebendorf, Ursula Ilse-Neuman (MAD's jewelry curator), Daniella Kerner and Thomas Gentille
As Co-director of Ethical Metalsmiths and RJM, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the film makers Sarah Zentz and Dana Richardson as well as three-time RJM participant, Meg Roberts to NYC! Susie Ganch couldn't join us in in NYC, but she was with us in spirit!
Everyone that participated in the "Jewelry Study Day" had the opportunity to watch the new 12 minute RJM video. We took several orders for the film, many of which were made by educators in the jewelry and metalsmithing field who are already using Ethical Metalsmiths' materials in their classrooms / studios.
