We're gonna go ahead and say it, this is one of the best films of the year! And one that you definitely have to see in theaters. Just do yourself a favor and do it. But we digress...

40 Acres is set in a post-apocalyptic world with food scarcity, where a Black and Indigenous family must defend their farmland against cannibals trying to steal their resources. Director/writer R.T. Thorne joined us in person during the SFFilm Festival to share how his relationship with his mother greatly shaped the film, living in Canada and why he has never left, and making a genre film that also makes you think long after you've left the theater.
