In case you missed it, you can still enjoy a screening of For the Love of Rutland, a Made Here series film, followed by a panel discussion led by VPR's Nina Keck. Watch the film here and then enjoy the discussion here.

As her small, blue-collar city struggles to emerge from the opioid epidemic and gets caught up in battles over change, identity, and self-mythology, For the Love of Rutland closely follows the story of Stacie Griffin – a remarkable and resilient woman who lives in the toughest neighborhood of the heroin-battered town of Rutland, Vermont. After 38 years of steady hardship and near invisibility in a town that is overwhelmingly white and deeply stratified by class, Stacie yearns to improve her own situation and those of her neighbors – including three Syrian families who arrive in her town just before the federal government bans refugee resettlement.

VPR's Nina Keck will guide a post-screening discussion with the filmmakers Jennifer Maytorena Taylor and Jim Sabataso, as well as participants and Rutland residents Lisa Ryan and Stacie Griffin.

Register here so we can email the link to join the event.

For the Love of Rutland is a co-presentation of America ReFramed / World Channel and Made Here / Vermont PBS.
