Look & See: Wendell Berry’s Kentucky is a portrait of the changing landscapes and shifting values of rural America in the era of industrial agriculture, as seen through the mind’s eye of award-winning of American novelist, poet, and activist, Wendell Berry. On the surface this program, produced by Robert Redford, Terrence Malick, and Nick Offerman, seem to be about the production of food. But it goes much deeper than that. Wendell Berry lives in Kentucky, farms with his family and happens to be a Shakespearian level writer as well. The stronger message of the film, is if we plan on eating food going forward, we should take an interest in the subject of conservation. As an industrial society we have lost touch with our farmers, whose making our food and how we are treating our land and our resources.
