Peace in the Fields

This film was produced by E.G.C. and is notable for its unique journey. Although it was made in Belgium in the early '60s, it was not released until 1971, despite being included in the American Oscar category for "Best Foreign Film."

Peace in the Fields explores serious issues through a narrative based on true events from the late 1920s and early 1930s. The struggles of the farmer, dealing with societal prejudice and the stigma surrounding his mother's situation, provide a compelling look at rural life in Belgium during that era.

Featuring a cast that includes Christian Barbier, Georges Poujouly, and Claire Wauthion, the film presents a poignant exploration of human fears and societal reactions to the unknown. As a piece of cinema that reflects historical realities, it holds significance for those interested in the complexities of human behavior in the face of superstition.
