HEARTLAND (1989. 98mins)

Written By Steve Gough; Produced by Christine Benson; Directed by Kevin Billington.
I have decided to go public on this previously 'unlisted' upload due to interest in it and the fact that it is completely now unavailable via BBC & its royalty life is effectively over - I feel it still merits an audience and hope you like it, Steve Gough (aka Stephen Earley)

Thank you. It merits being required viewing for all. Hopkins is magnificent. The story is an epic tragedy relevant to this very moment as the destruction wrought by corporate finance, factory farming, "market economics" and greed strangle the planet. .

Anthony Hopkins is the best actor of his time. I felt his anger, hurt, confusion becuase he showed these emotions. He always puts his whole heart into whatever role he's playing. I love his movies. He acts as if he's actually living the part in his life. He shows depth in his feelings.

I personally knew a farmer who used to have 50 cows farm and ended being a part time school teacher. He lost everything. No way to compete under new regulations with large producers.

it does not matter what politicians are in ,in any country , they will always put their own benefits first , they have to always be financially richer than the working class .

Tremendous thanks for this important film. With what is happening now, in 2023, we can see that what was happening 40 years ago was just the beginning of what would turn out to be unfathomable dystopia.

Well these old farmers now gone would never believe how British govt sold its citizens down the river -

I saw this film when it was on the BBC in 1989, it's still relevant in 2023, a very tragic story.

Blessed are the farmers, & the indigenous community! May they inherit the earth. For only they, know how to ensure it's survival! 💗

An excellent movie....so, so sad when the government cares only about its own well-being !!!!! Nothing has changed since nor ever will. Loved Anthony Hopkins , finest actor I've ever seen.... :)

We need more of these thought provoking movies so others can learn that land and lively hoods are not merely made up of mere money but that sweat and tears of Generations these films promote real thoughts and lead to discussions of the past ,not the movies of today with all their useless violence, sex, hatred,,this film needs no movie effects nor stunts ,it tell the story of life its challenges and how people are broken .wonderful thought provoking film real depth in it .
