About the film: Charles Dickens, the great Victorian-era novelist, wrote A Christmas Carol in 1843, during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions, including carols and newer customs such as Christmas trees. Dickens had written three Christmas stories prior to the novella, and was inspired following a visit to the Field Lane Ragged School, one of several establishments for London's street children.
 

A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. The story shows Scrooge as a paradigm for self-interest, and the possible repercussions of ignoring the poor, especially children in poverty—personified by the allegorical figures of Want and Ignorance.
 

A Christmas Carol turned into one of Charles Dicken's most successful works, reprinted 13 times within only the first year of its release. Translated into many languages already during the 19th century, it was in 1901 for the first time adapted for film and subsequently a popular story for the screen. Director Robert Zemeckis, known for Castaway and Forrest Gump, was the last who got his hands on the plot to turn it into a Disney animated film in 2009.

Farmonize connects farmers to consumers using a subscription based model. Consumers get to grow their own food on their own piece of land, and farmers get to focus on what they do best while achieving a stable monthly income.

Using innovative techniques in organic farming, we are increasing the yield of the fields, and the farmer's income, without increasing the cost of production. We deliver the food fresh to our buyers and shareholding families, opening a market that would otherwise be closed to these farmers.
