Troublesome Creek

Not another flood story, this DVD chronicles the struggle of an Iowa family to keep their farm despite the strain of the farm crisis of the 80's and 90's. It's an intimate yet clear-eyed portrait by a member of the family. The daughter, Jeanne Jordan, brings you the beauty of the farm, making it clear why the family would never want to leave. You see the anguish of the family as their treasured possessions are auctioned off, and the humor they use to ease their situation. Pretty powerful stuff.
