Jordan Osmond of Happen Films and now of Folklore Pictures makes beautiful documentary films about people seeking better ways to live on the earth and with each other. In this episode Jordan tells about how the documentary films he watched in his youth were powerful in changing his perspective on social, political and economic issues, and how the subjects of the films he has since made have inspired him on his own journey to live ethically on the earth.

Happen Films' feature film, The New Peasants, about the life of Meg, Patrick and their family, won Best Environmental Documentary at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival in 2025.
