This is without question among the poorest documentaries I’ve encountered. A strong documentary investigates its subject thoroughly and arrives at a reasoned conclusion. *In Organic We Trust* feels like a scattered, chaotic mess. It doesn't attempt to substantiate any of its claims; instead, it wanders from one viewpoint to another. The reasons behind pesticide dangers for children should come from scientists, not just farmworkers. If organic farming improves soil health, that needs explanation. Similarly, details on how pesticides are detrimental would have been helpful, as would examples illustrating corporate consolidation within the agricultural sector and its impact on smaller farmers. Those interviewed—ordinary people, specialists, and Kip Pastor—struggle to articulate the advantages of organic food. Phrases like "nutrient rich," "environmentally friendly," and "healthier" appear without any backing information. For example, are organic foods genuinely richer in nutrients, vitamins, or minerals? A clear visual representation would have been ideal here. Does organic agriculture protect soil quality? Another missed chance for supporting data. Is it possible that Kip Pastor wants viewers to simply accept the opinions of experts based on their positions? Or maybe it was a matter of intellectual shortcomings. Observing Kip’s expressionless gaze as he looked across fields of organic barley led me to wonder how much organic celery would be needed to boost his intelligence enough for him to produce a worthwhile documentary.
