Summary

In the aftermath of a series of devastating plagues leading to a global food shortage, a former soldier and her family try to make the best of their isolated life on a small farm. But as they become the target of a violent militia trying to take over their land, they are forced into a defensive battle that they didn’t want, but are more than prepared for.

Anchored by an incredible performance from Danielle Deadwyler, 40 Acres is a pulse-pounding action thriller that was met with critical acclaim when it premiered at TIFF, and was named to their annual Canada’s Top Ten list.

“A riveting and fiercely political thriller as poignant as a T.S. Eliot poem and as gory as a George A. Romero flick.” — Barry Hertz, The Globe and Mail

Cast Danielle Deadwyler, Michael Greyeyes (Plains Cree), Kataem O'Connor
