Vital for our existence, the backbone of entire nations, the job of a farmer can be treacherous, but how has agrarian life, its struggles and its concomitant culture been captured through the cinematic lens?

Théo Rogier of the Cinema Education Team invites you to explore this question in greater depth through the themes of class, hardship and exploitation, as seen in films such as ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ and ‘The Tree of Wooden Clogs’, among the many featured in this talk, illustrated by a range of clips.

Urban dwellers are often ignorant of the daily and historic struggles that these men and women endure to provide the essentials, therefore, it is particularly through cinema and the farmer drama genre that our minds and imaginations may engage more thoroughly with agrarian life and its culture.
