The little house on the prairie gets a 21st-century makeover in this absorbing documentary about life on an urban farm in Pasadena. The Dervaes family creates an organic Eden right next to a freeway, but that's not all. In a search for true independence and sustainability, they live off the grid, creating bio-fuel and using solar energy to power their computers. This is as much a romantic back-to-the-land success story as it is a meditation on the delicate fabric of one close-knit family contending with unpredictable weather, the drama of generational divides and the meaning of freedom. —Deborah Kaufman
