It's not just 'Old MacDonald' on the farm anymore. Across the U.S. there's a growing movement of educated young people leaving the cities to take up an agrarian life. Armed with college degrees, some are unable to find jobs in the current economic slump. Fed up with corporate America and its influence on a broken food system they aim to solve some of the current system's inequities by growing clean, fair food. Filmed on 12 farms throughout Georgia, GROW! takes a look at this new generation of sustainable farmers through the eyes, hearts and minds of 20 idealistic, passionate and independent young growers.

How long is 100,000 years? Twice as long as humans have had language and 10 times as long as agriculture; yet this unimaginable time is how long the Onkalo repository must guard Finland’s nuclear waste. Built as a series of tunnels deep into bedrock, the repository must remain secure until the radioactivity fades away. INTO ETERNITY ponders how to caution explorers from future civilizations who may be driven by curiosity, or a desire to understand their distant past, to stay clear of our lethal waste. How can we communicate with the future? What language will they speak in the 1,021st century? Will they understand our warnings?
