Ferme Zero is an interactive documentary about the disappearance of small family farms in favor of agricultural mega-corporations. In this Web documentary about the final days of a small family farm in Saint-Rosaire, we bear witness to the auction of heavy-duty machinery, as well as a herd of cow. The auction becomes the culmination of a life that is about to change indelibly for the Houle family. A very emotional moment that reflects a sad reality: traditional farming crushed by debts, leaving behind experienced farmers and an irreplaceable family and agricultural heritage.

Produced by the NFB in collaboration with Le Devoir.
