1965
In a small Vermont town, trapper Cam Calloway and his son Bucky dream of buying a lake so the migrating wild geese will have a sanctuary. Promoters want the same land for a hunting resort.
The default: films the whole family can watch together; any scary or intense moments for the littlest viewers are flagged in the Context Notes.
Why it’s here
A family's quiet devotion to creation, with a stubborn father, a loving wife, and townsfolk who come around.
Context notes
For parents, before you press play.
Prolonged fistfights with bloody wounds are treated by the town as the way to settle things, a man is shot with a shotgun, and Cam gets drunk and angry under strain; parents may want to talk about how the film treats fighting and drinking. Native Americans are spoken of in dated terms.
