The film is narrower in focus than many nature documentaries, but it is inspirational nonetheless
NATURE DOCUMENTARIES are enjoying a moment in the sun. While politicians around the world have failed to pass much meaningful legislation on climate change, film-makers have captured melting ice caps, coral bleaching and devastating floods. On May 9th Netflix announced that “Our Planet”, a mini-series examining humanity’s impact on different species and habitats, was the most-watched title on the streaming site in Britain in April.
Yet they soon encounter problems, and persistent ones. Pests, ranging from snails to coyotes, move in immediately; natural forces such as droughts, floods and wildfires—all of which have been exacerbated by climate change—mount a considerable threat to their project. “The Biggest Little Farm” depicts a relationship with the natural world that is by turns both life-affirming and horribly grim.
