Film Screening - "Just Getting By" by Bess O'Brien

Past event
Oct 17, 2024, 5 to 7 PM

Join us for a screening of this new documentary that looks at the lives of Vermonters struggling with food and housing security. Vermont has the second highest rate of homeless people in the United States, right after California. One third of Vermonters struggle to put food on the table. These are big issues for a small state. Just Getting By focuses on these issues in the lives of everyday people.

The film tells the stories of working families, folks who are homeless and accessing food shelves and soup kitchens and people who are living in temporary hotel/motel programs. In addition, the film focuses on New Americans grappling with the cost of living in America, Native people creating innovative farming practices and folks on the ground providing services to their fellow Vermonters.

There will be a community conversation after the movie screening, facilitated by Sue Minter from Capstone Community Action. This event is FREE and ALL are welcome. Email sharemrv@gmail.com with any questions.
