Mason Library 231 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA

A riveting story of transformation and healing, PEACEABLE KINGDOM: THE
JOURNEY HOME explores the awakening conscience of several people who grew up
in traditional farming culture and who have now come to question the basic
assumptions of their way of life. Presented through a woven tapestry of
memories, music, and breathtaking accounts of life-altering moments, the
film provides insight into the farmers' sometimes amazing connections with
the animals under their care, while also making clear the complex web of
social, psychological and economic forces that have led them to their
present dilemma.
Interwoven with the farmers' stories is the dramatic animal rescue work of a
newly-trained humane police officer whose sense of justice puts her at odds
with the law she is charged to uphold.
