and what we can do to help improve the lives of our friends, relatives, and neighbors.
about us
by Joseph C. Stillman, Jeri Wachter and the Rev. Dana Horrell
The "Rural Matters: Poverty in the Other America" documentary will speak with many individuals impacted by the crisis of poverty and organizations dedicated to supporting them. We hope this project will illuminate the plight of our families, friends, and neighbors and value the hard work that people living under challenging circumstances face every day.
Organizations
Organizations like OFO, Catholic Charities, Social Service Groups, Community Leaders, Hospitals, Church Social Action Committees, Schools, Hunger Coalition Members, Law Enforcement, Clergy and Volunteers dedicated to helping those in need are part of the solution to poverty in our area.
The Filmmakers
Joseph C. Stillman, Jeri Wachter, and the Rev. Dana Horrell will spend the next two years making this comprehensive documentary on individuals living in poverty and ways that, hopefully, can empower and help change people's lives.
