Our take

Commissioned to film a TV documentary, Louis Malle travelled to the Midwest and interviewed the inhabitants of a farming community. Returning after Reagan’s election, Malle witnessed a town in crisis, revealing the effects of politics on its daily life. An eye-opening historical and human document.
