About This Movie

Imported (1999) is a curious little documentary that hones in on this peculiar challenge—how to deal with those pesky insects that plague collard and kale greens. The atmosphere is pretty grounded, almost intimate, as it weaves together the lives of people who rely on these greens. The pacing is reflective, giving viewers time to absorb the various methods explored. There’s a certain charm in the practical effects used, capturing those raw moments of nature and the struggle against it. You know, it’s not just a film about agriculture; it's a deeper look at the relationship between people and the food they grow. The performances are authentically raw—like you're right there with them in the field. It scratches an itch you didn’t know you had.
