Loosely based on Ronald Blythe's acclaimed book Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village this unassuming yet powerful film traces three generations of one Suffolk family and their lives in the farming industry.
Described as a work of rural realism, Akenfield features a cast of non-professional actors drawn from the communities of several Suffolk villages. Featuring improvised dialogue and filmed mostly at weekends over the course of a year, the film offers an authentic depiction of country life and the effects of the changing seasons.
Told through the voices of farmhand Tom and his grandfather, all three generations grandfather, father and son are performed by the same actor (local farmer Garrow Shand), with the film painting a compelling picture of a traditional way of life facing a period of great change, brought about by the industrialisation of the 20th Century.
