In-the-field story of the olive growers and pickers

A short doc about small scale olive growing in Western Greece, an area where olives have been grown for centuries.

After visual intro to Messinia in Western Greece, the structure is basically ＇a day at the olive harvest＇. In the morning, with the pickers in the olive groves. In the afternoon, following sacks of olives to a local mill where they are pressed for oil. A look at the cold-press to see the oil being made, and watch farmers collect their cans or urns of olive oil.
