The “Terra Madre” documentaries narrate food in its production, processing, distribution and promotion. Each episode introduces us to one of the 270 presidia, which Slow Food has established around the world, discussing respect for the earth’s resources, the environment, the biodiversity, the producers’ rights and the health and pleasure of the consumers. The protagonists of the documentaries are gastronomic delicacies, endangered species, natural wonders and over all, the people connected with these products and their memory through their commitment and their passion.
