In this recording of Farm Aid’s monthly Breaking Bread series, we’re hosting a screening the short film Out of the Shadows. It’s a reflection on the mental health crisis in rural America. The 20-minute film is followed by a discussion with special guests and resource sharing led by Farm Aid’s Hotline Team.

About the Breaking Bread Series
The Highlander Center defines “popular education” as an opportunity to learn from each other’s shared lived experiences to build collective knowledge. Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen will feature stories that uplifts the shared history of food and farming; organizing and resistance that’s got us to where we are now. We pair that history with work that folks are doing presently, that will inform the future we want for each other as it relates to farming and agriculture, food, culture and rural communities. This storytelling and making our narratives public is a key and critical part of community organizing. Please join us!
