North Putnam – Coming Soon!

Crafted with empathy, a hyper-real reporting lens and skillfully lush cinematography, North Putnam depicts a year in the life of a rural Indiana school district and the community it serves. It's a quiet film, meant to provide an extended glimpse into a world so often overlooked. It’s not overblown to say that public education is wracked with challenges that threaten to subsume it, and the film doesn't shy away from depicting these challenges. But this is primarily a story of hope.

Overview

North Putnam, about a rural Indiana school district and the community it serves, is excellent for educator discussions and professional development. Audiences come away feeling inspired by the administrators, teachers, students and community members of North Putnam and energized to develop effective strategies for their own communities.
