The Back-breaking Leaf
(1959)
Directed by Terence
Macartney-Filgate this film is narrated by Stanley Jackson. We see
the life of the seasonal workers who farm tobacco in Ontario.
Fairly simple on the
surface level this is a decent look at the back breaking work
involved in harvesting a crop. The film shows the daily life of
people well but I am not sure it connects it to anything larger.
Certainly of some interest but not something that will stick in the
memory.
3/5
