Film Screening @ St. James
St. James Church is pleased to offer a screening of the film Just Getting
By, directed by Bess O'Brien. The film will be shown in the parish hall at
noon on Sunday, January 19. Admission is free, and the director will be
available after the screening for a Q&A session.
From the film's press release:
Just Getting By is a documentary which raises consciousness about the
pressing issues that working and low income people are dealing with every
day in their lives. 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 in need.
