“Root Hog or Die” DVD cover image
Digitally remastered by Bernardston filmmaker Rawn Fulton, his film visits “an array of elders, who reflect on farming’s deep natural patterns, share their family histories and personal memories… [manifesting] the quiet pride they take in their lives as farmers.” Fulton will show the film and stay for a question and answer period.
The program will follow a meeting at 7 p.m. Both are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
