Lacie P @Lacie50 1d I recently saw this documentary without really knowing what is was going to be. It was an afternoon with girlfriends that turned into inspiration, laughter and at times, tears. I had never heard of Farmerettes and after seeing the film I couldn’t understand why. Living in Ontario and knowing this was a huge part of our Canadian History it would have been nice to hear these stories of what these young girls did to help in a time of war and uncertainty. Doing their part to help bring food to families. What an inspiration this could have been to me in high school history class I will share this story with my daughters for sure. So they can find their own strength and inspiration through these amazing woman. I loved being a part of the stories shared in the film. I especially enjoyed speaking with Bonnie on the phone and still hearing the joy and excitement in her voice when speaking about the women and all the things that are still to come.

It is moving and funny, and it perfectly captures a part of Canadian history that most people are unaware of. The interviews are fantastic, and the historical photos, letters and footage are interwoven beautifully. This should be required viewing for all Canadians. It will certainly spark warm and insightful conversations across generations — I can’t wait to share it with my mother-in-law.
