Pollen Nation, a 26-minute film by Singeli Agnew and Joshua Fisher, is described as “a science documentary disguised as an American road movie.”
The film follows one migratory beekeeper — 3rd-generation beekeeper Jeff Anderson — and his truckload of honeybees from Minnesota to California, as the filmmakers take a look at industrialized pollination business and the implications for bees and humans.
Pollen Nation will see its first film screenings in the United States during October 2007. Check out the website for more information and the movie’s trailer: www.pollennationthemovie.com.
