Voices of the Transition is an enthusiastic documentary on farmers- and community-led responses to food insecurity in a scenario of climate change and peak oil.

A bilingual Ecuadorian-American redhead living in Los Angeles enters a seemingly innocuous interaction with a Spanish-speaking stranger, but her anxieties around her Latin identity and relationship to speaking Spanish quickly prove that navigating this exchange is anything but simple. With every possible interaction having run through her mind, one is left rooting for the possibility that the two might share a moment of human connection.
