Willie Nelson, Chipotle team up with filmmaker to produce stirring message on mega-farms
‘Back to the Start’ a PSA for Food with Integrity
If you’re a fan of Willie Nelson watch this short video. If you’re a fan of great short film-making and animation, watch the video below. But, most importantly, if you believe in a sustainable, healthier system of food and your own local economy watch and share this video.
Nelson covers the Coldplay hit, The Scientist, in this short by animator Johnny Kelly. Wilson’s rendition of Coldplay’s work is haunting and Kelly’s storytelling is tight and moving in only two minutes and 20 seconds. Mexican food quick service restaurant chain Chipotle commissioned the work and posted it on Youtube – where it may be on it’s way to viral status with most of its 28,000-plus views occurring in just the last 36 hours. Chipotle’s tagline is Food with Integrity, which is illustrated in Kelly’s production as meaning factory farming and the associated chemicals, drugs and environmental impact is unhealthy and not good for localized family farm economies.
