The Audience

Forty-seven-year-old farmer Ian Wainwright can't decide whether to continue running the family dairy farm for his ageing uncles, or walk away and start a new life.

Split between family loyalty and a sense of duty, and his personal happiness, he's agreed to let The Audience follow him around for a week and come to a decision for him.

With Ian working almost totally alone on the struggling farm for around the minimum wage, not only have his finances and self-esteem been affected, but the load is taking a serious toll on his home life.

Ian is at a crossroads and is questioning a way of life that is all he's ever known. He's agreed to let The Audience follow him wherever he goes, watch everything he does, and talk to whomever they like in order to make a decision that will change his life.

Ian goes through an intense few days as the decision looms, while The Audience also discover that there is far more at stake than they initially believed.
