by Muriel A. Murch (Author)
A poetic tribute to both the land and the bonds formed through shared values of preservation and creativity.
Blending the themes of family, farming, and filmmaking, Harvesting History follows Muriel Murch's journey from Los Angeles to West Marin, where she and her husband, filmmaker Walter Murch, settle on a farm. Here, their life intertwines with a changing community, organic farming, and the Bay Area's burgeoning independent film scene, including interactions with key figures from the independent film movement, including George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, close friends and collaborators of Walter.
Murch reflects on the cycles of nature, community resilience, and a simpler, sustainable way of life, contrasting it with the fast pace of Hollywood and urban development.
