MORE ABOUT LOOK & SEE: WENDELL BERRY'S KENTUCKY
Look & See: Wendell Berry’s Kentucky, a cinematic portrait of the changing landscapes and shifting values of rural America in an era of industrial agriculture, as seen through the mind’s eye of writer, farmer, and activist Wendell Berry. Through his poetic and prescient words and the testimonies of his family and neighbors — all deeply affected by the industrial and economic changes to their agrarian way of life — we see the changing landscapes of rural America and the redemptive beauty in taking the unworn path. Often called “a prophet for rural America,” Berry has long been a voice for communities frequently overlooked by the media. The film is directed by Laura Dunn and executive produced by Terrence Malick and Robert Redford. 

BROADCAST PREMIERE
Look & See: Wendell Berry’s Kentucky airs April 23, 2018, 10:00 p.m. on WKAR HD 23.1.
