Tattern of change in three interwoven ways, the changes in how people work, changes in their settlement patterns, and changes in the Landscape. Made for Orton Family Foundation of Weston, VT -- this documentary examines the changes that have transformed Vermont's working population over the past 50 years, and subsequent transformation of the state's rural landscape. It offers a thought provoking investigation of shifting employment and economic patterns, social change, urban development and the unceasing movement away from Vermont's traditional agricultural pursuits.
