The Gamble is a 60-minute documentary, sponsored by the Washington State Potato Commission, which explores the personal stories of farm families and their heritage. Through the colorful and touching stories of those who have endured the evolution of the potato industry, we learn firsthand the true grit that it took to survive and prosper. Featuring narration by Emmy Award winning actor Peter Coyote, exclusive interviews from farmers and historians, archival footage and photographs, The Gamble tells the story of this special crop and the impact it had on the history and culture of the 42nd state.
Filmmaker David Tanner will discuss filming The Gamble in the Columbia Basin.
