Looking for some rural shows? The Rural Route Film Festival offers a place for folks to submit videos about "rural." Rural Route travels around and shows the films at various venues. Check their site for event locations.
Can't make it to a film festival? Then check out videos from some rural youth at on the web. These young folks share why rural is important to them and discuss the challenges they face when trying to live a rural life. We'd love to hear from you too. You're invited to join this You Tube group and submit your own video.
