Connected to Place
Urban, suburban, rootless, nomadic: if these words describe your experience, this film will leave you cold. Agrarian, transplanted, uprooted, trying to re-connect to a rich family tradition? This film is for you. The plight of a man who is part of the land, and whose land is part of him, really moved me. This film asks, "What do you value, and why?" It affirms the worth of connectedness, continuity, and deep roots, while challenging our cultural idols of speed, change, and the new.
