The Road to Rhodiola
The Road to Rhodiola tells the story of a small group of Alaskan farmers working to grow something few thought possible: Rhodiola rosea, a resilient adaptogenic herb known for its powerful benefits.
Founded by Dr. Petra Illig, Alaska Rhodiola began as a wellness project and has grown into a larger mission—to support regenerative agriculture, diversify Alaska’s economy, and offer farmers a crop with real potential.
Shot in the heart of Alaska, this documentary follows the people behind the movement. From breaking ground in tough terrain to the science driving demand for Rhodiola, it’s a close look at what it means to build something meaningful from the ground up.
