From the Heartland
Available for public viewing starting
June 10, 2024 on YouTube.
​
“From the Heartland” was filmed locally as a partnership of the Feikema family and Director/Editor Matthew Coddaire.
From the Heartland is a candid depiction of American Agriculture, and the rural towns that are reliant on its success. But when an industry’s ability to thrive is dependent on progress, how does the family farm discard the practices that have been passed down through generations, to try something new and save the land?
