PLOUGHING AND THE STARS - Website Trailer from Viewing on Vimeo.
There is more to ploughing than you might think... on the first part of this hour-long journey, charismatic champion ploughman John Hill introduces us to the ploughing scene in England. Along the way we meet a host of colourful characters who give us an insight into what is happening and why.
The action then moves to Canada for the 60th World Ploughing Championships, where John leads the England Team into battle against rivals from 27 countries - with some very interesting results. Become absorbed by the thrills and spills, victories and heartbreaks of this mysterious world.
With English and German subtitles, the PLOUGHING AND THE STARS DVD is a 'must see' for plough and country people worldwide as well as city dwellers looking for a rural retreat.
