Product Description
Care Farms of the Netherlands is a beautiful and inspiring film. It tells the story
of an innovative program that combines agriculture with social care for the mentally
challenged. It began in 1998 with a handful of farms and only a few clients, today there
are more than 1020 farms participating and over 10,000 clients. In an era of government
cutbacks in assistance to our nation’s most venerable citizens this pragmatic program
offers a new and hopeful vision.
”it will inspire us to want to create communities like those in Holland.”
Robert Whitaker, author of Anatomy of an Epidemic

Rating by David Oaks on Jan 25th 2012:
Filmmaker David Heine once more directly challenges the dominant paradigm of the corporate mental health system in his important documentary, Care Farms of the Netherlands. This time he provides one answer to the common question, “But what is the alternative to the psychiatric model of drug, drug, drug, drug?” The film proves that thousands of troubled people in the Netherlands have found help through common sense programs on these care farms, in a way that also helps the families running smaller farms. I love the film’s coverage of the unique celebration in Geel, Belgium, reminding us of six centuries of success with a similar approach there. This film shows the value of ecopsychology and community support for mental and emotional well being. Don’t we all need to all learn about this, in an era when science has proven that ‘normal’ is wrecking the planet?
