Submitted photo ‘Root Hog or Die’ Made nearly four decades ago, this documentary introduces you to Franklin County farmers who worked the land with horses. Created by filmmaker Rawn Fulton, who lives in Bernardston, it is beautifully filmed and leaves it up to the farmers themselves to introduce you to their lives. Recently remastered and back in circulation, the film has a showing in Warwick on Friday and will also be screened Friday and Saturday by Pothole Pictures at Memorial Hall in Shelburne Falls. Fulton will be present at Memorial Hall Saturday night to participate in a panel discussion with area farmers. See Friday’s “Films” listing.
