About
In the vivid green of a rice paddock, two Thai families stand knee deep in water, methodically tending to their land. Agrarian Utopia presents the conflicting realities of a farming life: in one scene kids joyously chase each other through a muddy field and in another, parents lament the bank loan their harvest will never pay back. Thai filmmaker Uruphong Raksasad's film is both a warm look at the farming community and a bittersweet comment on the changing nature of the agrarian lifestyle.
Ages 15+
