David Sutherland Productions

David Sutherland Productions David Sutherland is a producer, director, & writer for the nationally acclaimed films The Farmer's W And perhaps no one ever will; the toll is too great.

It took over 20 years and countless reviews for a writer to accurately capture the essence of David Sutherland's work, but in 2006, a piece from the Baltimore Sun finally hit the nail on the head. “No one makes documentaries the way David Sutherland does. The documentarian's methods more closely resemble an ethnographer's than a television director's. He steeps himself in the minute details, emoti

"David Sutherland, who made the critically acclaimed series "The Farmer's Wife," makes "Country Boys" more than a rural American tragedy. While he took great care not to perpetuate insulting myths about Appalachia, he's not treading on eggshells or romanticizing the surroundings.

Filmmakers like Ken Burns and Bill Moyers talk a lot about 'the American character' but David Sutherland actually shows it to us in THE FARMER'S WIFE. In a league with Marcel Ophuls' great 1970's documentary THE SORRROW AND THE PITY, THE FARMER'S WIFE saves the very soul of the new television season and shows how good television can be when it's not all about commercialism and profit... as good a documentary as has ever been made for television. It is documentary as social conscious and window on the American soul."
– David Zurawik, BALTIMORE SUN
