Bitter Harvest (1981) Reviews

Member Rating:

Ron Howard plays a young farmer and family man whose dairy herd is being decimated by illness. As if this weren't enough, Howard's young son falls seriously ill. The state's agricultural officials could do something about Howard's plight, but red tape and bureaucracy rules the day. Based on a book by Frederick and Sandra Halbert, this caustic indictment of governmental indifference was nominated for four Emmies. Made for television, Bitter Harvest debuted May 18, 1981. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

the pbb contamination in the 70's that this film was based on is still a multi-million dollar enviromental disaster that still is creating illnesses for people living in and near st. louis michigan. PBB is an endocrine disrupter, much like plastic, and the far reaches of it's effects are still being studied.
