The Dispossessed

The Dispossessed is a documentary that examines the hardships faced by small-scale farmers. Blending the styles of an essay and cinema verite, the film explores how industrial agriculture creates a cycle of debt and loss for those producing the world's food. It follows the daily struggle of a peasant class fighting against poverty and dispossession.

The film was directed by Mathieu Roy and written by Richard Brouillette. It is a joint production between Canada and Switzerland, produced by Mira Film and Lowik Média with Colette Loumède, Gabriela Bussmann, and Vadim Jendreyko serving as producers. Released on October 25, 2017, the documentary has a runtime of 77 minutes.
