Donal Mosher, Michael Palmieri 2009: 80 min. | US
October Country is a beautifully rendered portrait of an American family struggling for stability while'haunted by the ghosts of war, teen pregnancy, foster care and child abuse. This vibrant and intimate'documentary examines the forces that unsettle the working poor and the violence that lurks beneath the'surface of American life.'Shot over a year from one Halloween to the next, the 'lm uses rich visual metaphors and 'oats through'multiple storylines to present an all-American family: wholly unique, but also sadly representative of the'struggles of our working class.' Winner of the 2009 SILVERDOCS Grand Jury Prize
