This genre centers on the trials and tribulations of farmers and other rural folk who try to eke out a living from the soil. This type of drama also often pays close attention to the everyday lives and unique customs of remote rural communities. Though the allure of the genre has waned some in the increasingly urban and suburban audiences of America, the rural drama remains relevant in Eastern Europe, China, and the Third World where village life plays a prominent part in society. Significant works include Sunrise, Days of Heaven, Yellow Earth, and Ballad of Narayama.
