I am an independent filmmaker seeking a working partner to help me in the distribution of a 47 minute documentary shot in Italy tilted, The Peasant and the Priest

Website:www:thepeasantandthepriest.com ( the site is being revised).

Short Film Synopsis: The Peasant and the Priest tells the story of two Italian men in their eighties whose ways of life have survived from medieval Italy to the present. Sergio, a sharecropper, uses ancient farming methods that have become overshadowed by corporate agriculture. Father Oreste fights the tide of sexual slavery, which grows each day as more and more women from Africa and Europe are forced into prostitution in Italy. Each man tries to make his contribution into a world that moves relentlessly and carelessly forward. Both represent ways of life that are rapidly fading as the modern world closes in.
