Milk

Milk
Rural New england just before Reagan's second term. Meg and Ben are a creditor away from losing their family farm. To the rescue flies a high-powered businessman-in a private chopper no less-offering a tidy sum for a taste of farm life and the pure, raw milk that goes with it. even before locavores roamed the earth, back to the land was hardly as simple as its promise; livestock and humans aren't known for behaving as expected. and so it is in Milk, an elegant parable of change set on the cusp of a shifting American landscape.
