The Vermilion County Farm and Danville Area Community College are sponsoring a showing of the independent film SILO next month. The movie will be shown at 3 p.m. on Sunday, March 8th at the Fischer Theatre in Danville.
SILO is the first ever feature film about a grain entrapment, a possible tragedy agri-cultural communities face every day. Inspired by true events, SILO tells the story of, an 18-year-old who falls victim to a grain entrapment incident in a small American farm town. As grain turns to quicksand, family, neighbors and first responders must put aside their differences to rescue Cody from drowning in the crop that has sus-tained their community for generations.
Though not rated, the film is appropriate for farm families and first responders. The producers recommend having a discussing with those younger than 10 years of age about the mature content of an entrapment scene.
In addition to the screening, safety displays will be set up in the Fischer lobby before the film is shown. Doors will open at 2:00 pm.
