The Bullish Farmer Bets Big on Sustainable Agriculture on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary The Bullish Farmer on April 19, 2024.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

The Bullish Farmer tells the story of a Wall Street investment banker turned small farmer. While struggling to build and operate his family farm, John Ubaldo discovers the dangers posed by corporate farming and becomes an advocate for sustainable agriculture.

Directed by Ken Marsolais, The Bullish Farmer follows the journey of John Ubaldo, a former investment banker who left Wall Street to buy and run a small family farm in upstate New York, with an idea to farm as it was done 100 years ago. He was soon forced to confront the realities of competing with powerful corporations and the modern farming methods they employed. With their extensive use of chemicals, pesticides, GMOs and massive confined animal feed operations, he learned their practices were ravaging the soil, polluting the environment, producing less nutritious food and causing unjustified animal suffering. This awareness prompted Ubaldo to become an outspoken activist for sustainable farming in order to educate the public, produce healthy food and preserve small rural farms across the country.
