Two blades of grass

Description

Graham Burgess is a 29-year-old dairy farmer who describes himself as a "real outdoorsman" but with a "refined taste for expensive cocktails." He works and lives on his parents' farm in New Mills, Greater Manchester, is passionate about his job and confident about his future in farming. His father, George, is a more traditional farmer, but is more similar to his son than either seems to realize. This film explores succession, independence, security, and family in farming life as each gives their version of both past and future, and as they struggle to work together in the present to ensure the survival of the farm.
