God's Little Acre
“Love! Hate! Pride! Passion! Rampant, Riotous In the Heat of a Southern Sun!”
DramaComedy
In the 1950s, a poor Georgia cotton farmer and his sons search for the gold presumably buried on the farm by their grandfather but problems related to poverty, marital infidelity, unemployment and booze threaten to destroy their family.
VIBE
A sweaty, sun-baked tale of Southern desperation. The pursuit of buried riches exposes raw desires and familial rot, set against a backdrop of poverty and simmering tension.
