A great "simple and straightforward" way to tell a story!

A great "simple and straightforward" way to tell a story!I really only started watching "Sod and Stubble" because I found out that " Mary Elizabeth McDonough" was in it and I'm a big fan of "The Waltons" television program!But after watching this I can say that it was well worth it! The story is one that has nothing hidden in it and it's just told very simple and basic but it's well acted and has a wonderful and different type of presentation that I really enjoyed! I would highly recommend it!

Great Telling Of A Beautiful Story

"Sod And Stubble" tells of the Ise family and their continual struggles and moments of joy homesteading in late 1880's Kansas.This movie is based on a book of the same name. As with many adaptations, to enjoy the full story, read the well-written book after seeing the movie.The movie has a distinct method of story-telling that writer and director, Ken Spurgeon, has used in other productions. His style easily transports the audience to that era. The acting of the seasoned cast members was excellent, with lesser characters, especially the kids and extras used throughout, adding a believable richness to the film.This timeless story about overcoming challenges is one that many will relate to, either directly or through the efforts of others. It serves as a good testament that life is an ongoing journey and not just a destination.
