Homestead
Don’t expect that in headlines. To paraphrase Gil Scott-Heron:
The homesteading will not be televised.
not be televised, not be televised.
The homesteading will be live.
The film deals with topics of revolutionary changes without and within. Capitalizing on a growing audience interested in such subjects, “Homestead” joins other films and shows on small farm communities such “The Lunatic Farmer,” the multi-season “Clarkson’s Farm,” and, in its own way, 2024’s “Civil War.”
Rather than a full movie about escaping LA, reaping harvests of food when it counts, and picking off interlopers by rifle, “Homestead” is also a Bible-based message about walking with the prudence and kindness worthy of God, no matter the trials one faces.
Some more metropolitan establishment reviewers have called that a relief about the movie, since they find prepping films “preachy” or off-putting, Why spoil the unity a movie like this can achieve and make survival with humanity an either-or matter?
