Northern Lights (VHS, 1987) B/W Historical Drama Cannes Film Festival Winner

***FULLY TESTED AND REWOUND***

Before there was Norma Rae, there was Ray Sorenson. Before there was HEAVENS GATE, there was NORTHERN LIGHTS. NORTHERN LIGHTS-winner of the CAMERA d'OR at the Cannes Film Festival and one of the most moving and powerful motion pictures of our time. NORTHERN LIGHTS-a living testament to one man's courage and sacrifice and to one filmmaker's loving devotion to his subject.
Against a backdrop of the bitter Midwestern winters and the equally brutal economic forces of 1915 America, a story unfolds which will pit the small farmer against the powers that control both commerce and government. Based on the diaries of Ray Sorenson, NORTHERN LIGHTS chronicles the struggles of these farmers. Their fight to save their farms, their family units, and their very way of life. And the very personal doubts and dilemmas confronting Ray Sorenson himself.
