honey land

A documentary about one  of Europe's last female bee trackers

It did very well at Sundance.

 

 

oddly enough

We didn’t watch the Oscars last night - instead we were watching Green Book. both of us felt it was the best film we had seen in many years…  Highest recommendation.  Incredible acting on the part of the two principals and an amazing story based on reality.  You need to watch the end piece immediately following the film.
