Every fourth weekend in October, the Thompson clan gathers on the last remaining working farm in their family. Just fifteen minutes from center-city Charlotte, the farm is a tribute to a dying way life. With an audience of cows and cicadas, and the faint glow of city lights in the distance, Thompsons young and old congregate around food, fire, and storytellers to celebrate and preserve their history. Relations travel from around the country to take part in this two-day event. Fly-on-the-wall perspectives transform viewers into guests at the 31st annual celebration. At once unique and universal, Reunion captures family at its best.
