Review of God's Country (1985) by Walter M — 02 Nov 2012

Kudos to Louis Malle for "seeing" and documenting, quite early on, the devastating effects of Neo Liberalism that was, for the most part, initiated by Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. In this documentary we see a farming community in 1979 when all is relatively good and comfortable and then we see the same community in 1985.

Here we see the effects of Neo Liberalism on farming as family farmers are being priced and squeezed out of business. We all know what happened after to the detriment of family farmers, food consumers and to the animals.

Knowing where we are at now this is a horrifying portent and shows that Louis Malle is a visionary.
