The Inspector is a true story about a four-generation family-run dairy farm that focuses on the struggle, beauty, and living legacy that comes from one generation of farmers passing their know-how onto the next.

As authentic as it is cinematic, The Inspector is an openly honest film that explores the relationship between parents and their children and the family dynamic that comes from moments in our lives when we have to step into new roles whether we are ready for them or not. For Alain that moment came with the passing of his dad, which left him questioning his future on the farm and if he had listened and learned enough to unknowingly assume the role of The Inspector himself. But in the end, the universal truth to this story is that we all share an uncertainty when it comes to choosing a career path to follow, and while dairy farming may not be an easy job, it does make for a beautiful life.

In support of Dairy Farmers of Manitoba ‘All from a good place” brand platform, The Inspector launched the week before Father’s Day to celebrate and recognize the challenging and inspirational roles that fathers can play in their children’s lives and futures.

The film was shot entirely on location at the Philippot family farm and was created to be viewed in multiple video formats from short pre-roll teasers to its original full-length 15-minute version.
