"What does organic mean?"

That is the question that's pondered in the documentary film, In Organic We Trust. Through interviews with farmers, academics, and the public, In Organic We Trust tracks the organic movement's split from a philosophy to a corporate industry. Director Kip Pastor started the documentary (his first feature-length film) as a graduate student at the American Film Institute Conservatory. Pastor recently took the time to talk to me about his experience as a food activist and first-time filmmaker from his Los Angeles office.
