This award-winning documentary film follows the tumultuous first 15 months of operation of Vertical Harvest of Jackson Hole, asocial impact business with a dual mission: growing produce year-round in a challenging mountain environment and providing meaningful employment for people with disabilities. Shannon Smith, the Executive Director of Wyoming Humanities, describes it as “a compelling and timely story that enhances the Wyoming narrative and promotes engaged and inclusive communities.” Wyoming Humanities supported production of the film and development of a viewers’ guide. The film is premiering on PBS stations across the country this month in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Our initiatives bring scholars and subject matter experts to the entire state of Wyoming. Through our work, the humanities help the citizens of Wyoming take a closer look at life.
The humanities are the study of humanity in its most whole sense. They are the study of not only our past, present and future but rather the fiber of our being. The humanities beg us to ask questions that give insight into the creative imagination and the culture that surrounds us.
