LAND OF PLENTY (2004)
A film by Wim Wenders
Angered by the American government’s response to the events of
11 September 2001, LAND OF PLENTY is one of Wim Wenders’
most impassioned films.
Lana (Oscar™ nominee Michelle Williams) returns from
missionary work overseas in order to find her uncle (John Diehl),
amidst the paranoia of post 9/11 America. What she discovers is a
country in pain, whose growing underbelly of poor and
dispossessed are a portent of hopelessness for the future.
Featuring The Wire’s Wendell Pierce and Shaun Toub (Crash,
The Kite Runner, Iron Man), LAND OF PLENTY is an urgent call for
harmony in a world torn apart by violence and extremism.
