Best Served Cold

This feature-length documentary delves into the fascinating tale of how The Farmer became a highly sought-after cult film. The narrative includes the dramatic backstory of an actor imprisoned for manslaughter, notable on-set injuries, and even banana-man costumes. It also connects the film to iconic figures like Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese.

Best Served Cold expands its focus to examine the lesser-known sub-genre known as the Returning Veteran film.

This documentary serves as a comprehensive exploration of both The Farmer and its genre context, making it a compelling watch for fans of film history and niche cinema.
