OCEAN OF GRASS – LIFE ON A NEBRASKA SANDHILLS RANCH


The American cattle ranch, an icon of the United States, projects an enticing historical vision of hard working people living close to nature on the plains of the west. The McGinn Ranch, first settled in the 1870’s, is such a place. Moving into its 5th generation, the ranch encompasses all that makes America great: an appreciation of heroic effort, the love of family, friends & country, and doing what it takes to survive. It is a landscape of individuals with unique personalities. The documentary film, “OCEAN OF GRASS – LIFE ON A NEBRASKA SANDHILLS RANCH”, is a visually stunning organic journey about life rolled up in the ranch experience
