Description

Hoping to increase their struggling farm's income, the filmmaker's family adopts a side hustle—selling videos of daily farm life on a stock footage website. But the family, accustomed to working for themselves, chafes at having to overcome camera-shyness, surrender their image rights and abide by someone else's terms and conditions. Is autonomy ever worth giving away, regardless of pay? Angie Driscoll
