Sanrizuka Notes 1: Sanrizuka Has Its Own Agriculture, In Kinone the Wind Blows from the Roots (1979)

三里塚には三里塚の農業があり、木の根には木の根の風が吹く（三里塚ノートフィルム・N01）

Sanrizuka, 1979. Refusing state subsidies and government water projects, farmers of the Opposition Alliance build their own windmill to pump irrigation water from two wells drilled 275 metres into the earth. The film follows the collective construction – designing, welding, testing, failing, rebuilding – until its blades carry water to the seven farms still resisting.
