Decades before sprawl made front-page news across America, the farmers, developers and other citizens of Woodford County, Kentucky had already hit the courtrooms to match clashing ideas on growth and development. Through their intimate and impassioned voices, LAND (and how it gets that way) shows how human character, ambition, and class have shaped the American landscape.
