Also as the film`s subject matter reflects a broad international flavor, I felt that the music could be used to emphasize that and try to help make the audience feel that they were actually in a given location.Ryan K.

Who knew there was such variety to peppers or such drama to the farming and crafting of them?  I loved the variety of subjects in this doc, it was fascinating to hear so many different stories and viewpoints.
