Riveting and brutally honest documentary on the history and future of dairy farmers
17 August 2016
Documentaries are one of the hardest films to make, as they can be either to boring and narrative or to one sided that they only push one agenda which make the documentary seem less a documentary and more of propaganda.

Milk Men: The Life and Times of Dairy Farmers is a very riveting documentary that does the perfect job of being on the balance between the two sides of the story. As the documentary progress we are shown the struggle and the every day adversary of farmers and the effect it has on them and their families. The ups and down of dairy farmer are extremely wide and thin. The director brilliantly allows the families and the documentary to show how much the industry has changed from the once thought of family dream of owning a farm to a billion dollar industry that thrives on taking over family farms.

For any one ever interested in what it means to be living on edge or what it means to have a family farm, I suggest you get yourself a copy of this documentary or stream it online. You will not be disappointed.
