Farmer Shares Her Battle with Alcoholism in PBS doc ‘Greener Pastures’

VIDEO – PLANTING THE SEED OF RECOVERY –

March 27, 2024 – Several Midwesterners will break your heart in this “Independent Lens” documentary about farmers dealing with mental health issues. But the one who resonates deepest is Juliette Albrecht. Over the course of four years, we watch as Albrecht struggles to keep her business afloat while battling her cravings for a six-pack of beer before noon. She allows cameras to capture sessions with her sponsor around the kitchen table as well as moments where she contemplates suicide. She and the other featured farmers, who include Chris Petersen of Clear Lake, Iowa, deserve blue ribbons for being so open about their struggles.
