The Duke of Westminster may be best known for his urban interests, but his heart is rooted in the countryside. Last year he published a report, The Problems in Rural Areas, which gathered much support among country people, but was ignored elsewhere. In this film, he expresses his concerns for the future of rural communities as farmers are driven off the land and family farms are in decline. With four farmers a week committing suicide, rural life is far from the idyll it can seem to outsiders.
