hat are simple and amazing solutions that can transform our reality today? The documentary Final Straw journeys through Japan, Korea, and the United States to change our perception of food  by presenting ways of livelihood once forgotten.
"Walking away from salaried jobs in Seoul and Silicon Valley, the film's directors (Patrick Lydon and Suhee Kang) spent four years creating a film that will leave you inspired, happier, and perhaps even motivated to make a few changes in your own lifestyle.”
