Exploring the plight of small farmers in our bank-dominated society, this Academy Award Winning ® film tells the story of a mysterious accountant whose remarkable mathematical skills just might save the O’Dell family farm. It is as appropriate today as it was when it received its Oscar in 2001.
Armed with a keen ability to add, an unquenchable thirst for bottled beer, and a stack of receipts, the accountant takes the O’Dell brothers on a strange journey that reveals the plight of America’s family farms. A cult classic with many passionate supporters, the film again resonates well during these hard economic times.
Stars writer/director Ray McKinnon (Rectify, O Brother Where Art Thou, Deadwood, The Blind Side) and Walton Goggins (Justified, The Hateful Eight, The Shield).
