Crushing Season

A sugar mill's whistle marks the hours, the days, the entire life of a small Louisiana town. For two families, the 2023 drama *Crushing Season* is the story of a single harvest that will define their futures. As the price of cane plummets, old alliances fracture and buried secrets rise to the surface like silt in the bayou. The pressure builds, a slow, inexorable grind threatening to destroy everything they’ve built. This is a portrait of a community clinging to a vanishing way of life, where loyalty and survival are weighed on the same scale.
