Windfield 2017

When the North-West cartel rolls into the rural town of Winfield and disposes of the local elite there is a sense of quiet optimism. Power and irrigation water are restored and a new civic infrastructure is instituted to replace the old oligarchy. Small farmers become hopeful that they might scrape out a living on the hard dusty earth. However, the corporate cartel executes its agenda with wanton disregard for human life. As the locals begin to organize their own economic infrastructure, the cartel undermines their efforts by flying airplanes over Winfield, releasing a toxic pesticide from their holds. The crops are destroyed and sickness becomes pervasive. Winfield residents realize that their lives are forever changed.

Windfield, 2017 tells the story of those who stay on in the community, banding together to fight against their poverty and the aggressive tactics of the cartel who are eager to drive the locals from their land. In this story, children forage for food to feed their siblings, a father carefully collects fuel, dreaming of taking his ailing family for one last motor boat ride, and a community learns to mourn for their dead in the heat of battle.
