Cotton Mom … a still from our documentary-in-progress, Cotton Tale ….
Cotton Tale is a century family, farm, and industry documentary headlining the changes in cotton production in the last 60 years. The narrative vehicle for this documentary is the voice of the “last-one-standing” patriarch of a four generation farm family living in the Four Hole Swamp area of low-country South Carolina. Family members and community will testify to the family’s farming heritage which is characterized by deep-seated values of faith, succession, and family pride. Also prominent in the story is the family’s loyalty to John Deere, a manufacturer of farming equipment since 1837.
