Just Getting By, a new Kingdom County Productions documentary film by Bess O'Brien focused on Vermonters struggling with food and housing insecurity – Wednesday, November 20th – 7pm – Q & A after with Director, Bess O'Brien

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. The film was shot during 2022-23 by director Bess O'Brien and cinematographer Patrick Kennedy.

"We wanted to capture the day to day lives of Vermonters who were living paycheck to paycheck and who were struggling to keep food on the table and a roof over their head. We also wanted to show the incredible resiliency and courage of folks who have very little and still manage to get up every day and strive for a better life." O'Brien says.

"We hope by touring the film across the state that we can raise consciousness about these pressing issues of food and housing insecurity with Vermont audiences across the state." Says O'Brien.
