This grant enabled the film team to refine the working script, assemble and in some cases produce elements for the documentary on Minnesota's Farmer-Labor Movement and in so doing, met the Progress Indicator set forth in the grant application. We will move from this phase to the actual completion of the film in 2020-21.
