Sweet Land

Based on Will Weaver's short story, "A Grave Made of Wheat," Sweet Land is a flashback to 1920s Minnesota, when Lars Torvik's grandparents met on their wedding day. It is a story of love, trial and strength of will as well as fear and prejudice. It is the story of how the American heartland was settled by immigrants. Olaf and Inge represent the grandparents and great-grandparents of many Americans. Written and directed by Ali Salim, himself the son of first-generation immigrants.
