Inhabit is a feature length documentary introducing permaculture. The
film
presents a vast array of projects, concepts, and people, and translates
the diversity
of permaculture into something that can be understood by an equally
diverse
audience. It is a call to action and a glimpse into what's possible and
what
kind of projects and solutions are already underway. See the trailer: http://inhabitfilm.com
