Hearts of Glass is screening at the Center for the Arts in Jackson on June 1st. For tickets and more information visit JHCenterForTheArts.org.

Below is a brief synopsis of the film from HeartsOfGlassFilm.com:

Hearts of Glass follows the tumultuous first 15 months of operation of Vertical Harvest (VH), a multi-story, state-of-the-art hydroponic greenhouse that grows crops while providing meaningful, competitively-paid jobs for people with disabilities. The film weaves the story of VH’s launch with the personal journeys of several employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Innovation and inclusion create a fertile environment for people and plants to grow.
