Synopsis

It is 1976 and Andy Catlett, farmer and agricultural journalist, is walking the streets of San Francisco at dawn. In the eight months since losing his right hand to a corn-picking machine, he has also lost himself.

Inspiring and eye-opening, Remembering follows Andy's journey out of darkness and into the warm light of community.
