After years of living abroad with her American missionary father, Lana (Michelle Williams) returns to the United States to begin her studies. But instead of focusing on her education, Lana sets out to find her only other living relative - her uncle Paul, her deceased mother's brother. A Vietnam veteran, Paul is a reclusive vagabond with deep emotional war wounds. A tragic event witnessed by the two unites them in a common goal to rectify a wrong, and takes them on a journey of healing, discovery, and kinship.

A personal social commentary from internationally acclaimed director Wim Wenders investigating anxiety and disillusionment in post 9/11 America.

"Wenders' most vital work in more than a decade"
LA WEEKLY

"a thoughtful look at a post-9/11 United States from one of its most caring longtime observers"
LOS ANGELES TIMES

Angered by the American government's response to the events of 11 September 2001, LAND OF PLENTY is one of Wim Wenders' most impassioned films.

Lana (Oscar nominee Michelle Williams, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) returns from missionary work overseas in order to find her uncle (John Diehl), amidst the paranoia of post 9/11 America. What she discovers is a country in pain, whose growing underbelly of poor and dispossessed are a portent of hopelessness for the future.

Featuring THE WIRE's Wendell Pierce and Shaun Toub (CRASH, THE KITE RUNNER, IRON MAN), LAND OF PLENTY is an urgent call for harmony in a world torn apart by violence and extremism.

Bonus features include an exclusive in-depth interview with Wim Wenders, "The Making of Land of Plenty" featurette, deleted scenes, trailer, stills gallery, English subtitles for the hearing imparied, 5.1 surround sound and reversible "Wenders Classics" DVD sleeve for collectors.

"Wenders' most vital work in more than a decade"
LA WEEKLY

"unrivaled filmmaking."
LE MONDE

"an enthralling look at American culture as it comes to grips with terrorism."
FILMINK

"offers a thoughtful look at a post-9/11 United States from one of its most caring longtime observers, an artist whose vision of America can record terrible socioeconomic inequity, ignorance and paranoia yet somehow remain warm and embracing... worthy and unmistakably the effort of an enduringly distinctive and important filmmaker."
LOS ANGELES TIMES

"Wenders has crafted a thoughtful exploration of the impact of that infamous day [9/11]... Wenders' eye for locations and richly evocative work by director of photography Franz Lustig and production designer Nathan Amondson combine to give the film a powerful sensory impact. The music score and tracks featuring Leonard Cohen add greatly to the piece."
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

"the characters pack a strong emotional punch... Wenders' most poignant film in years"
CLASH MAGAZINE
