VIDEO:
A wonderful bit of Canadiana with a Lightfoot soundtrack: (looking for investors to get this mastered and into festivals, museums across the grain belts of Canada and the U.S. - info is at the end of the film) Gordon has a copy and has watched this evolve over 5 years and hopes to see it finished and out there for viewing.
Music by Gordon Lightfoot
Film by Andrew Ranford
National Heritage of the Canadian Prairies
Prairies is a Canadian western rock and roll time travel film that brings us back to the country, in the wheat harvest farming period where the grain elevator were the symbols of the farming culture of the vast Canadian prairies. In the entrance of the film, a freight train is going through time as the spirits of the grain elevators are talking telling us their story. When the grain elevator is going through his last moment of living in the vast prairies, we witness a huge farming culture that disappears with the demolition of all the grain elevators of the vast Canadian prairie landscape. At that moment, the grain elevator dies and meets with God that brings the soul of the grain elevator to the light, just before the song Sundown.
Gordon's magical song Sundown represents the grain elevator remembering his life on the prairies and is also a love story between the farmer and the land.
