Synopsis

Disarmingly intimate, David Sutherland's The Farmer's Wife is a landmark documentary portrait of three tumultuous years in the life of a Nebraska farm family facing its toughest crisis. Darrel Buschkoetter chases his lifelong dream of becoming a farmer; his wife, Juanita, sacrifices her own dreams to keep his alive. But when we meet them, they are on the verge of losing it all — the farm, their self-respect, and their marriage. Their daily struggle forces them to grow as individuals and as a couple, renegotiating traditional roles and, in the process, discovering a wellspring of courage, ability, and faith.
