Illinois farm country, early 70s. A young man returns from college to his family's generational land to begin in the well-traveled footsteps of his ancestors. But, he brings a bunch of typical 70s rebels with him which upset the traditional folk in the community.
What happens next reverberates for decades and has a profound impact on both the young man, the community, and his farm.
Not only is this a fascinating portrait of an original spirit, more importantly, it chronicles an age without resorting to stereotypes. You will not soon forget the love Mrs. Peterson shows to her son, or he to her.
This is an exceptional documentary which deserves wide support. I can't think of a better portrait of American society.
