Room to Grow: The Inner Lives of Farm Workers in the United States in an Age of Turmoil

Join us on Tuesday, August 11 at 6:00 pm for “Room to Grow: The Inner Lives of Farm Workers in the United States in an Age of Turmoil”. This podcast gives listeners the opportunity to hear the voices and lives of the farm workers that labor to bring food to our plates.

As our country is in a state of rapid change, the voices and lives of those who are affected by the immigration policies of the current administration can be buried under the weight of an oversaturated media. Room to Grow gives voice to the realities and goals of international farm workers making their home in Massachusetts.

Talking Across the Lines is the organizational vehicle for diverse documentary services, programs, and performances offered by Michael Kline and Carrie Nobel Kline, often with the assistance of community or college interns. The Klines love to record Appalachian voices telling about their lives and families, oftentimes facing challenging times in the wake of misfortunes in failing energy industries. These voices and views are often excluded from national and regional conversations and visioning, but they find a platform in our audio histories and community profiles created from many sources and points of view. This conversational approach to making history out of many voices addresses diverse issues of human and earthly survival with competing wit and wisdom.

This program, presented by Talking Across the Lines, is free and open to the public thanks to the Friends of the Greenfield Public Library.
