    Resume

    This is the story of our grandparents and great-grandparents. It recounts the saga of the French farmers who, in barely a century, saw their world profoundly changed.

    Although they once made up the majority of the country, today they constitute a tiny minority struggling to retain their population. In spite of this, they are faced with an enormous challenge: how to continue feeding France.

    For the first time, we hear this story as told by the farmers themselves. Through their testimonies, exceptional archives, and the voice of Guillaume Canet, Nous Paysans – Story Of The French Farmers shows us the richness and diversity of agrarian France.
