A routine childhood fall becomes a child-welfare case
When a routine childhood fall becomes a child-welfare case, a destitute ranching mother on the brink of environmental collapse must battle the system to save her family, in the first-ever retelling of Job from a woman’s perspective.
After a child’s fall from a haystack results in a broken rib and a child welfare case, an indigent ranching couple living on the edge of environmental collapse struggles to keep their family and livelihood intact. But there are chaotic forces in the valley—gods and devils, wilderness, and the west wind tunneling through. The film is the first ever filmic retelling of the book of Job from a female perspective, and was inspired by the director’s own nationally-covered child welfare case.
