Plot

Hailey Freeman and her family are the last descendants of African American farmers who settled in rural Canada after the Civil War. In a famine-decimated near future, they now struggle to safeguard their farm, as they make one last stand against a vicious militia hell-bent on taking their 40 Acres.

Sinekatalog’s take

A besieged family defends its land in a hungry future, mixing survival thriller beats with a story of inherited pride. The premise has real emotional weight, even if the action sometimes leans on familiar tropes of the genre.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
