Working Films is collaborating with five nonprofit organizations across the country on their Rural Cinema program. Over the next three months, these organizations — based in Montana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Utah — will show a total of 20 documentaries as a way to open a discussion about environmental topics.

A collaboration between six nonprofits brings documentaries on environmental justice to rural communities around the country.

For low-income, rural communities hit hard by natural disasters or industrial pollution, environmental justice education is often unheard of or unrelatable. Through the art of documentary filmmaking, Working Film’s Rural Cinema program is helping to bring environmental justice conversations back down to earth.
