Quote:
"The mode [of Ley Lines] is rather difficult to describe: a self-reflexive, experimental documentary that is part autobiography, part biography, part social history, part natural history, and more. And, as these names imply, it is concerned with the past, or, more precisely, the confluence of pasts that compose various presents."
