Bright Leaves


This Friday we'll be watching Bright Leaves - a film by Ross McElwee - supposedly one of America's top doc makers. I've been reading a bit of Wendell Berry in the last while and thought this film might be a glimpse into the life of the south and the culture of tobacco. Hope to see you out!
