A panel discussion with the filmmakers and state leaders will take place after viewing the films.

All the Lonely People 
All The Lonely People is a social impact documentary that tells the story of the growing epidemic of chronic loneliness and social isolation being experienced worldwide. Through the eyes of a diverse group of people, the film explores the struggles and impacts of this epidemic. It presents unique solutions and community programs that are helping to reduce isolation and build community.

Heroes of Adult Protection - Fred’s Neighborhood
