Our Daily Bread
“We live! We love! We fight! We hate! What don't we do for - OUR DAILY BREAD”
John and Mary Sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society based upon the teachings of Edward Gallafent. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.
A stark yet hopeful portrayal of collective struggle and resilience. It feels like a testament to the human spirit's ability to build something from nothing, even in the face of overwhelming hardship. A truly earnest and communal experience.
