This week on Financial Sense Newshour, Jim interviews Filmmaker Kristin Canty. In Farmageddon Kristin tells the story of small, family farms that were providing safe, healthy foods to their communities and were forced to stop, sometimes through violent action, by agents of government bureaucracies.

Kristin seeks to understand why and through this film add her voice to the movement to protect and preserve the dwindling number of American family farms struggling to survive.
