French current affair show

Historical and personal archives, testimonials, and reports pay tribute to women in agriculture, who have been considered "invisible" for too long, in order to finally give them the recognition they deserve. Today, "women of the land" run more than a quarter of all farms and lead trade unions, cooperatives, and chambers of agriculture. Director Edouard Bergeon shares his memories of his mother, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers, all of whom were farmers. For this documentary, he travels around France to gather the confidences and rants of Marie-Claude, Lucie, Anne-Cécile, Claire, Estelle, and Jeannette, retracing the long and remarkable history of these women from the post-war period to the present day.
