A film by Caroline Breton directed and produced by a regional agency, Muséo-film à Plaissan, of which she is the director. A structure clearly focused on biodiversity and ecological transition.

We owe him Remarkable trees, a heritage to protect, presented in preview to the National Assembly.

This time, she is interested in alicaments in a feature film shot by a local enthusiast located in Saint-Privat, Raphaël Colicci. In this film, he defends his fight for quality food. “I have been a therapist for fifty years. I started in rheumatology and before, in the years 1968, 1969, 1970, I was already campaigning for alternative medicine and agroecology. But it was the time of Mao and of Marx and I was told: “It’s the class struggle.” Now it has become fashionable. “

He shares the screen with other enthusiasts such as Pierre Rabhi, peasant, writer and thinker, pioneer of ecological agriculture in France. The spectator can find Henri Joyeux, doctor, lecturer, former university professor and hospital practitioner in cancerology at the University of Montpellier I, and other participants just as convinced of the importance of food in the good health of the To be human.

Old varieties do not fit into the logic of capital

“It’s been ten years since scientists from the United States, Australia and Israel proved that pre-1950 fruits had up to 100 times more trace elements, vitamins or polyphenols than current new varieties, assures Raphael. They call these hollow foods because there is almost nothing left in it. ” But when it wants to get producers to adopt the old fruits and vegetables that it preciously protects, it comes up against the logic of capital. “You’re very nice but we are already at 40 tonnes per hectare and you, your stuff, is 20 tonnes per hectare.”

However, beyond their nutritional qualities, its productions are more resistant to frost and drought and require less water. A work that makes you want to consume, organic and local, vegetables bought directly from the producer.

The film will soon be presented to the public in the cinema of Clermont-l’Hérault and the main actor will surely bring some fruits of his own production so that the spectator can rediscover the lost taste.
