Now, he’s seeing industrial agriculture creep into the land he loves. The 2016 documentary Look & See: Wendell Berry's Kentucky examines that changing landscape and the shifting values of rural America as seen in Berry’s mind’s eye.
The Library and KCPT–Kansas City PBS screen the film in the latest installment of the Indie Lens Pop-Up series. A subsequent discussion features local artists and community partners including The Writers Place and the Atkins-Johnson Farm and Museum.
