Chris Pawelski has almost run out of time. As a fourth-generation onion farmer on the post-glacial black dirt of Goshen, New York, he is just one of millions of farmers in America facing the unnecessarily Sisyphean task of earning a living. Muckville follows the story of Chris’s family farm from the early 20th-century ‘Polish wave’ through climate change-driven crop failures in the 1990s and subsequent pitfalls of U.S. agriculture policy to his own resulting existential crisis. This short documentary provides rare insight into the impact of our national mental health epidemic on American farming and paints a delicate and emotional portrait of resilience and love amid unbeatable odds.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
