October Country

The documentary is about a family in the state of New York. The Mosher family lives in the Mohawk Valley. The film was shot from one Halloween to the next. Three generations live in the same place. The grandfather fought in Vietnam. He does not talk about what he went through. His daughter Donna has come through hard relationships. The granddaughter Daneal became a mother young. She is pregnant with her second child. A custody case is under way. The younger girl Desi is eleven. Abuse is part of the family’s past. The documentary says so without going into detail. Poverty presses on the household constantly. One of the directors comes from inside this family. Donal Mosher and Michael Palmieri directed the eighty minute documentary. It is an American production finished in 2009.
