"Sod And Stubble" tells of the Ise family and their continual struggles and moments of joy homesteading in late 1880's Kansas.
This movie is based on a book of the same name. As with many adaptations, to enjoy the full story, read the well-written book after seeing the movie.
The movie has a distinct method of story-telling that writer and director, Ken Spurgeon, has used in other productions. His style easily transports the audience to that era. The acting of the seasoned cast members was excellent, with lesser characters, especially the kids and extras used throughout, adding a believable richness to the film.
This timeless story about overcoming challenges is one that many will relate to, either directly or through the efforts of others. It serves as a good testament that life is an ongoing journey and not just a destination.
