Movie Night at the Barn: "Root Hog or Die"

Please join us for a showing of "Root Hog or Die," directed by Rawn Fulton, a portrait of a "once pervasive but rapidly vanishing way of life. Filmed in 1973, in hill towns across Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont, it follows the cycle of the farming year from spring to winter. The movie visits with an array of elders, who reflect on farming's deep natural patterns, share their family histories and personal memories, and ponder the inevitable forces of technological and social change they have endured. The bittersweet nature of their challenges is manifest, as is the quiet pride they take in their lives as farmers."

Rawn Fulton will be in person to introduce his work. Following the showing there will be a panel discussion. Refreshments will be available.  $10 suggested donation.
