It chronicles a handful of individuals who overcame crippling social isolation over the past two years. The one-hour film will be shown free of charge in the auditorium at the Bureau of Emergency Services, 110 Old Route 6 in Carmel, at 1 pm, and followed by a live panel of local experts and the film’s producers for an audience discussion.
