Catherine McCormack, Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel play Stella, Ag and Pru, three very different girls in the Land Army; the volunteer force that replaced agricultural workers called up for service in the Second World War. Sent to a Dorset farm, they all fall for the farmer's son Joe Lawrence and the scene is set for romance, heartbreak and tragedy. David Leland's genuinely moving film evokes not just the spirit of the times but also the beautiful Dorset countryside in winter.
The Land Girls is a Film programme that first aired in 1998 and has been classified a 15 certificate.
