United States 2024 – Director: Brittany Shyne – Original language: English – Subtitles: None – Length: 122 min.
In striking black and white, the camera captures moments in the lives of African American farmers who have tended to their land for generations: the rhythms of their work, the relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter, concerns for the future. A meditation on land, family and the confidence that a legacy can be passed on. Emily Schuster-Woldan
