Initially released in April 2019 and hitting cinemas this fall in Europe, this movie caught my attention. This astonishing, immersive environmental documentary began life as a nature conservation video about one of Europe’s last wild-beekeepers and was shot in over three years.
Should this have tickled your fancy keep your eyes open and let us know where we can watch it.
Hatidze lives with her ailing mother in the mountains of Macedonia, making a living cultivating honey using ancient beekeeping traditions. When an unruly family moves in next door, what at first seems like a balm for her solitude becomes a source of tension as they, too, want to practice beekeeping, while disregarding her advice. The most awarded film out of this year's Sundance Film Festival, winning the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize, a Special Jury Award for Cinematography, and another Special Jury Award for Originality. HONEYLAND is an epic, visually stunning portrait of the delicate balance between nature and humanity that has something sweet for everyone.
