Monrovia, Indiana (population 1,400), founded in 1834, is primarily a farming community. The film explores the conflicting stereotypes and illustrates how values like community service, duty, spiritual life, generosity and authenticity are formed, experienced and lived. It gives a complex and nuanced view of daily life, with emphasis on community organizations and institutions, and provides some understanding of a rural, mid-American way of life.
