Start your weekend with a powerful evening screening of Just A Farmer, an award-winning Australian drama that explores the mental health struggles faced by farming families. Written, produced and led by Leila McDougall, the film has received international acclaim and is touring regional Australia as part of a national mental health movement.
This free community screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Leila McDougall, giving audiences the opportunity to reflect and connect through storytelling.
“This film is not just about telling a story – it’s about starting conversations that are long overdue. It’s time we stop telling farmers to be resilient and start showing them the empathy and support they deserve.” – Leila McDougall
Guests will enjoy a comforting roast dinner in the hilltop setting of Rye at Tallis, with drinks available at bar prices. Bookings are essential and strictly limited.
