From a hillside office in his native Henry County, Kentucky, Wendell Berry captures in writing the changing landscape and shifting values of rural America in the era of industrial agriculture. The Seer adapts Berry’s agrarian philosophy for the big screen, exploring the life of the land and the people who inhabit it through nuanced observations of farming practices, interviews with the community, and painstakingly composed shots of the surrounding landscape. The result is a moving dual portrait of two deeply connected characters: Berry’s literary voice and Henry County itself.

Directed by Laura Dunn; produced by Jef Sewell and Laura Dunn. Executive Producers, Terrence Malick and Robert Redford.
