A Seed for Change (2018)

As an unemployed film maker and victim of the economic crisis Alexandros Oikonomidis took on a long journey looking for alternative ways that would allow him to bypass the ugliness of the demonstrations on the streets of Athens in Greece and to reach to a viable solution for the global depression that was hitting our modern ways of life. Until 2008 Alexandros Oikonomidis was working in the production field, making television commercials for international brands. As his income was fading away, he was spending most of his time just sitting there, avoiding spending any money and worrying about things that he used to take for granted, like the shrinking size of his grocery list. He got scared for not being able to sustain himself anymore. After a long investigation it became evident that only when we are able to grow food without the need of a financial income, we will break this vicious circle of fear, and make way to transcend to another level of human experience and it all linked back to agricultural seeds and knowing how to plant those seeds using a zero input organic method to produce high quality free food that provides all the nutrients our body requires for healthy living. Thus a long journey begins, looking for the lost reproducible natural seeds, and for the knowledge to grow food for free - a simple individualistic solution that soon proved to be a very complex global problem.
