多數(shù)人都住在城市，但是沒多久之前，我們都來自農(nóng)村。可惜的是，現(xiàn)代城市與鄉(xiāng)村已成為大相逕庭的兩個(gè)世界。有多少人了解現(xiàn)在的農(nóng)村？又有多少人關(guān)心現(xiàn)代農(nóng)村的艱難處境？農(nóng)村不應(yīng)該是都市開發(fā)的預(yù)備用地，更不是容納各種都市鄰避設(shè)施的垃圾桶。農(nóng)村區(qū)域有其自主性、神圣性，是一個(gè)健全國(guó)家永續(xù)發(fā)展不可或缺的一部份。現(xiàn)代農(nóng)村并非與都市或現(xiàn)代生活完全隔離，在現(xiàn)代的科技與產(chǎn)業(yè)型態(tài)下，農(nóng)村如何維持其歷史、產(chǎn)業(yè)、空間、文化、生態(tài)、景觀等特色，卻又與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，已成為全世界政府極嚴(yán)肅的課題。 　　公共電視《農(nóng)村的遠(yuǎn)見 / The Eternal Farm Villages》系列紀(jì)錄片，將帶領(lǐng)觀眾走入世界各地的農(nóng)村典范。制作團(tuán)隊(duì)造訪了德國(guó)、荷蘭、美國(guó)、日本、印尼與臺(tái)灣數(shù)個(gè)國(guó)家。藉由這些國(guó)家的農(nóng)村經(jīng)典典范，啟發(fā)觀眾對(duì)自己農(nóng)村更多的想像，并從這些心懷遠(yuǎn)見的農(nóng)民、居民與經(jīng)營(yíng)者打拼的故事中，看見農(nóng)村永續(xù)發(fā)展的無限可能。 　　擁有30年紀(jì)錄片制作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的寶花團(tuán)隊(duì)，耗時(shí)四年，透過第一手的材料、優(yōu)美細(xì)膩的4K影像、溫馨的人物與劣勢(shì)突圍的故事，帶領(lǐng)觀眾重回我們心靈的故鄉(xiāng)。 　　Most of us now live in cities; however, not too long ago, most humans lived in villages. Unfortunately, modern cities and farming villages have become vastly different worlds. How well do we really know our villages now? Do we even pay attention to them? Villages should not be regarded as still-to-be developed cities, or waste disposal sites for urban areas. A self-regulated farming village with its own sense of value is indispensable for national sustainability. The separation of farming villages from urban or modern life is not necessary or inevitable. Facing the challenges of modern technology and industry, it is critical for villages to develop without losing their essential nature. 　　This PTS production of ‘The Eternal Farm Villages’ takes the viewer to some of the world’s most exemplary villages. The production team visited Germany, the Netherlands, the Unites States, Japan, Indonesia and Taiwan.The inspiring villages they discovered will expand our horizons, and the stories of visionary farmers, residents and business owners give us a chance to see how sustainability can be achieved. 　　With 30 years of film-making experience, Bowwow Productions spent four years making this documentary series. Combining firsthand materials, 4K resolution footage, charming characters, and inspirational stories, the viewer is transported back to the hometowns we all have somewhere in the back of our minds.
