THIS FILTHY EARTH - DVD

THIS FILTHY EARTH
A film by Andrew Kötting

A tragic tale of rural passion and survival, This Filthy Earth is inspired by Émile Zola's novel La Terre and John Berger's Pig Earth and is co-written by Andrew Kötting (Gallivant) and comedian Sean Lock. This Filthy Earth is a story of sisters Kath (Demelza Randall) and Francine (Rebecca Palmer) whose lives are disrupted by two men - Buto (Shane Attwooll) their brutal cousin greedy for the girls' land and Lek |(Xavier Tchili) a gentle stranger who offers the possibility of escape. Amidst a landscape of rural hardship and a community consumed with superstition, events unfurl which threaten their sibling bond.
