"Between a laugh and a tear and
across the open roads of life comes a new dramatic television series."
THIS HARD LAND is an idea inspired in the minds of series Creators Sam
and Stephanie Steele by Bruce Springsteen's words and music. As Sam
tells it, "I was inspired by Springsteen's words and thought process in
creating the characters in his songs and the world he placed them in.
As a long time fan, I have often imagined them as real people living
real lives in the real world and felt a certain kinship to them. They
are a part of the same human community that binds us to each other,
after all - or should.”
THIS HARD LAND is a human story about ordinary people striving to break
down the barriers that stand in the way of a less oppressive future.
It's not about specific characters in Springsteen’s music but about the
universal themes conveyed through it. And no one tells the narrative of
the human condition in words and music better than Bruce Springsteen.
From his first album, “Greetings from Asbury Park, New Jersey” to his
latest “Magic,” Springsteen’s narrative is communicated with “blue
collar” coarseness symbolic of a life of hard work and strife. The
words may change depending on the thought expressed but the sentiment
of struggling to survive and finding redemption within an unyielding
world is something we believe most will relate to
We hope you’ll support the show and meet me us in a dream of THIS HARD
LAND.
