PSA: We're sorry for our relative silence over the past year. In a cruel twist of fate, our producer (me) was diagnosed with cancer and has found it hard to manage our social media.
The good news is, the film is still finding its way into classrooms and living rooms! Stay tuned.

It was a pleasure! The students asked profound questions and @townofwidows is a way to talk about why our health and safety is paramount, over profit.
