Marce Catlett : the Force of a Story

Andy Catlett tells the story of his grandfather Marce Catlett, who faces devastating low prices for his 1906 tobacco crop due to the monopoly of buyer James B. Duke.

Returning defeated yet defiant, Marce and fellow farmers find strength in cooperation to protect their rural families and land.

The narrative spans three generations, emphasizing memory, love, and resistance to the industrialization of farming, resonating with the power of family stories in the Port William Membership.
