"I would do it again in a minute," fourth-generation hog farmer Ryan Veldhuizen said during a press call just ahead of the film's Tribeca Festival debut in New York. He was joined by four other farmers who participated in the new documentary.

The film, which hits selected theaters May 1, focuses on the lives of young farmers in six different food production areas. It is billed as a glimpse into the farmers' "high-risk, high-reward" jobs.
