Sondheimer, Louisiana. Population: 200. Tucked into the northeastern corner of the state, this rural enclave is home to the Nelson brothers — four young, ambitious, fourth-generation commodity farmers who dream of becoming the biggest farmers in the United States.


We meet them in the midst of fall harvest. It has been a brutal year: drought has decimated the soybean crop, equipment breakdowns have caused repeated setbacks, and the Nelsons are nearly out of funds. After a second straight year of poor returns, and with neighboring farms shuttering around them, the Nelsons know they cannot afford a third.


Then, as the new year begins, an unexpected opportunity arrives: the local school board offers to lease them 1,200 additional acres. Combined with their existing 2,800 acres, it is more land than they have ever farmed. But with climate change, equipment failures, rising costs, biblical flooding, and mounting tensions between the brothers, the stakes have never been higher. For the Nelsons, this season will be make-or-break: will their determination carry them through, or will their ambition undo them?


Directed by an award winning mother, Natalie Baszile (author of "Queen Sugar") and daughter (Hyacinth Parker) team.
