The personal becomes universal. A history of America through the story of an immigrant, working-class family that lives through the horrors of the 20th century and raises a son who honors them. This memoir film is told with image, music, and sound by filmmaker and sound designer Hamilton Sterling, renowned guitarist and composer Ralph Towner, and Grammy-winning music producer Jimmy Haslip.


And So Farewell was partially filmed in the small town of Springdale, Pennsylvania, where Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring, was born.
