Lee Banks: Mountain Farmer

-
Shelby Adams, Mimi Pickering. 1973. 16 mm Film.
Mountain Farmer is a visit with Lee Banks, one of the last of the old-style mountain farmers — a man who grew his own and “never bought.” A horse and a wooden plow, a vegetable garden, and a few hogs sustain Lee and his family. A fine film for use in discussions of values, land use, rural sociology, aging, and the persistence of traditional lifestyles in the late 20th century.
