Call from Onaga

[Available on various VOD platforms.] Wonderful cinematography highlights A. J. Oscarson's insightful, heartbreaking, poignant, 8-minute documentary (originally released in 1970) in which longtime Kansas farmer John Blaske, who raises cattle and hogs, grows corn and soybeans, and has six children, discusses his depression and suicidal thoughts he has had for more than 45 years as he reaches out to other farmers around the country who are also suffering.
