A LIFE ON THE FARM is a British documentary which looks at a series of strange rediscovered videos made by an ageing Somerset farmer, and the legacy of his long lost films.

language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k') along with milder terms which include 'bloody', 'bugger', 'damn', 'God' and 'hell'.
disturbing images
We repeatedly see images of a man's dead mother and father, taken in their beds and with them seated in wheelchairs as he moves them to different parts of his farm.
There are references to dementia and mental health concerns around isolation and bereavement. A couple describe seeing a man with dementia wandering outside without his trousers done up, implying that his genitals were visible. People talk about grieving for lost loved ones and there is video and photographic footage of funerals. We see occasional photographs of people seriously ill in hospital. There is sight of dead animals, such as cats and a fox, and we see a cow birthing a calf; the placenta is then held up to the camera. There are brief images of cows mating, presented in a comic way. We hear that a mentally ill man threatened his family with a sword before being disarmed by his brother in a story told by a contributor. The terms 'bonkers' and 'mental' are used to describe people with mental health issues.
