I was thinking a lot what to do with this video because it’s not a typical language teaching film, but I’ve found it interesting. It’s long, takes 8 minutes. And the speakers are changing the topic far too often. They are sharing either technical details or telling the story of the film in parts.
Finally, I’ve decided to focus on the storyline instead of technical questions. Now, I’m giving you some words, more than usual actually, to help you understand the story. Your only task is to put the parts together. It’s not that easy anyway…
revolution - a very important change in the way that people do things
cultivation - to prepare land and grow crops on it, or to grow a particular crop
epiphany - when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of, something that is very important to you
exploitation - when someone uses someone else unfairly for their own advantage
livelihood- (the way someone earns) the money people need to pay for food, a place to live, clothing, etc.lifespan - the length of time for which a person, animal or thing exists
well-being - the state of feeling healthy and happy
to get carried away - to cause someone to become very excited and to lose control
inflated - to be made larger
factory farming - a system of farming in which a lot of animals are kept in a small closed area, in order to produce a large amount of meat, eggs or milk as cheaply as possible

based on Cambridge Dictionary Online
Could you understand the story? Has it touched you?
WALK around the world.
