Out of the Shadows is a powerful 20-minute film produced by American AgCredit that confronts the mental health crisis in rural America. Through the personal stories of farmers and ranchers, the documentary sheds light on the emotional toll of agricultural life, including the impact of isolation, financial stress, and generational pressure. The film emphasizes the stigma that often surrounds mental health in rural communities—preventing individuals from seeking help—and aims to foster open dialogue and awareness. By showcasing real experiences, Out of the Shadows encourages viewers to recognize the importance of mental wellness and to support those struggling in silence. It is part of Farm Credit’s broader initiative to promote mental health resources and resilience in agricultural communities.
