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.
