Land Rush captures a tense and gripping slice of life in Mali, where the stakes are high for small farmers facing the encroachment of large-scale agriculture. The pacing is steady, almost methodical, allowing the viewer to absorb the deep-seated fears and hopes of the community. Hugo Berkeley’s direction emphasizes the stark contrast between the ambitions of the American investor and the everyday struggles of the locals. You really feel the weight of their stories, the complexity of land ownership, and the impact of globalization. The film doesn’t shy away from showcasing the practical realities of subsistence farming, and the performances from the farmers are raw and genuine, making it a significant piece in the documentary realm.
