This episode explores how climate change affects mental health in rural communities.

Discussing mental health has historically been taboo in rural communities where a mythology of pioneering, rugged individualism and self-reliance has prevailed. As climate change pushes farmers, homesteaders and herders to the edge, this film pierces the mental health taboo through personal, poignant stories of struggle, resilience, and hope.
