Thanks for this! Loved it. If anyone else has recommendations or links for other videos on tropical fruits/vegetables/medicines like this, please post! So much biodiversity out there, so many flavors and medicines, and we will barely scrape the surface in each of our lifetimes...

I had left the window open, and heard a noise and realized apparently it autoplays a second video that explains a little more background on who these guys are. For those who did not see it, here is a second video that is about 4min. long with a little more footage: https://vimeo.com/130174313

Sweet! Seriously, during the Holidays I was wishing to watch a new fruit movie, since it had been some time since The Fruit Hunters came out. Can't wait to watch this.

These guys are awesome! My top 3..

When he's explaining how to tell if the local is bullshitting, right in front of the local.

When he's berating Percy for not getting them to fruit fast enough, then just starts doing pushups

When the other guy is explaining ice cream bean, and he just pops in face, hands and arms, covered in some random black rain forest product.

Thanks!

It was really good. That market in the beginning made me salivate.

Production value, information and entertainment. It was pretty fun to watch.

Joseph Simcox spoke at the HTFG conference a couple years ago. It was also very good.

We need more movies/documentaries like this! Even if it's just a movie showing people's backyard collections I would watch.

waxy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2017, 09:25:41 PM »

What a fantastic movie, I watched it 3 times already with my gf on both, she loved it.
This is truly a work of art and I would pay to see this if they had another episode.

I love Joseph. He's such a character. Each scene he just gets darker and darker LOL
