An abandoned schoolhouse in the Flint Hills of Kansas; highways and development pushing in on an untouched glade in the Ozarks; a class of first-graders carrying the last best hopes of a dying language in Osage County, Oklahoma: this is modern life on the prairie. The American Midwest is a region whose history lies buried under endless fields of soybean, corn and more than a century of popular mythologizing. Here I Will Hanker is a nonfiction adaptation of Carl Sandburg's poem Prairie that goes looking for that hidden past by exploring the last vestiges of a broken landscape, and the people who call it home.
