NLFF Opening Night: The County
February 28, 2020
Set in a small Icelandic farming community, The County tells the story of Inga, a middle-aged dairy farmer who rebels against the all-powerful local Cooperative. Inga tries to get other farmers to join her in rising up against the Co-op's corruption, but encounters great resistance, forcing her to confront the community's dependence and loyalty to this dominant enterprise. Inga must use her resourcefulness and cunningness to break free.
