Dawn and Brian of Green Junction Farmstead have seen it all while chasing their dreams, from multiple lost farms, bears, foxes, failed crops, and the community that wouldn't give up. In the end, Dawn and Brian never created this community, this community materialized in moments of need to support regenerative agriculture in the Grand Valley. Learn more: https://www.grandvalleyuu.org/films.html The Independent DocuFilm Series, co-hosted by Junktown Cinema Club and UUCGV, is intended to serve as a platform to shed light on topics related to humanitarianism, environmentalism, and social justice, with the idea that by meeting with the film creator/s after the showing, we equip the community with the information and tools to take steps of action inspired by the film.
