多數人都住在城市，但是沒多久之前，我們都來自農村。可惜的是，現代城市與鄉村已成為大相逕庭的兩個世界。有多少人了解現在的農村？又有多少人關心現代農村的艱難處境？農村不應該是都市開發的預備用地，更不是容納各種都市鄰避設施的垃圾桶。農村區域有其自主性、神聖性，是一個健全國家永續發展不可或缺的一部份。現代農村並非與都市或現代生活完全隔離，在現代的科技與產業型態下，農村如何維持其歷史、產業、空間、文化、生態、景觀等特色，卻又與時俱進，已成為全世界政府極嚴肅的課題。公共電視《農村的遠見,TheEternalFarmVillages》系列紀錄片，將帶領觀眾走入世界各地的農村典範。製作團隊造訪了德國、荷蘭、美國、日本、印尼與臺灣數個國家。藉由這些國家的農村經典典範，啟發觀眾對自己農村更多的想像，並從這些心懷遠見的農民、居民與經營者打拼的故事中，看見農村永續發展的無限可能。擁有30年紀錄片製作經驗的寶花團隊，耗時四年，透過第一手的材料、優美細膩的4K影像、溫馨的人物與劣勢突圍的故事，帶領觀眾重回我們心靈的故鄉。Mostofusnowliveincities;however,nottoolongago,mosthumanslivedinvillages.Unfortunately,moderncitiesandfarmingvillageshavebecomevastlydifferentworlds.Howwelldowereallyknowourvillagesnow?Doweevenpayattentiontothem?Villagesshouldnotberegardedasstill-to-bedevelopedcities,orwastedisposalsitesforurbanareas.Aself-regulatedfarmingvillagewithitsownsenseofvalueisindispensablefornationalsustainability.Theseparationoffarmingvillagesfromurbanormodernlifeisnotnecessaryorinevitable.Facingthechallengesofmoderntechnologyandindustry,itiscriticalforvillagestodevelopwithoutlosingtheiressentialnature.ThisPTSproductionof‘TheEternalFarmVillages’takestheviewertosomeoftheworld’smostexemplaryvillages.TheproductionteamvisitedGermany,theNetherlands,theUnitesStates,Japan,IndonesiaandTaiwan.Theinspiringvillagestheydiscoveredwillexpandourhorizons,andthestoriesofvisionaryfarmers,residentsandbusinessownersgiveusachancetoseehowsustainabilitycanbeachieved.With30yearsoffilm-makingexperience,BowwowProductionsspentfouryearsmakingthisdocumentaryseries.Combiningfirsthandmaterials,4Kresolutionfootage,charmingcharacters,andinspirationalstories,thevieweristransportedbacktothehometownsweallhavesomewhereinthebackofourminds.
