  • "Against a backdrop of the bitter Midwestern winters and the equally brutal economic forces of 1915 America, a story unfolds which pits the small farmer against the powers that control both commerce and government. Based on the diaries of Ray Sorenson, this film chronicles the struggles of these farmers. Their fight to save their farms, their family units, and their way of life."@en
