An Alberta Farm

Documentary · Writer / Director · Canada

On a second-generation family farm in Alberta, Bruce Bell reflects on the move from manual labour to knowledge-based farming — and on the family farms that may not last.

He talks about milking, working the land, and the pressure of bigger businesses on a way of life he chose young and still stands by. The film won the Big Rock Eddies Film Festival in 2015.
