The film balances the science of farming with the sad neglect of Milford's family. The director uses actual 16 mm footage from the 1930's, animated sequences and interview footage with Milford himself (who is larger than life) from his final years.   Awards   2000 Amsterdam International Documentary Film Festival 2001 Ann Arbor Film Festival 2001 Atlanta Film Festival 2001 Bermuda International Film Festival 2002 Independent Spirit Awards 2001 International Documentary Association (Honorable Mention) 2001 Newport International Film Festival 2001 San Francisco International Film Festival 2001 Slamdance International Film Festival       Reset
