Precarity: An Exploration of Housing Insecurity in the Upper Valley – PREMIERE SCREENING

JAM – Junction Arts & Media Productions presents the premiere of Precarity: An Exploration of Housing Insecurity in the Upper Valley, a new documentary film about the housing crisis.

This premiere screening will be at the Loew Auditorium at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth on Saturday, December 12 from 2-5PM. A reception and tabling event will begin at 2PM, followed by the screening at 3PM and Q&A with the filmmaker and people involved in the film. The event is FREE and open to the public.

The debut feature documentary film by JAM Production Manager Jordyn Lich, Precarity explores the housing crisis in four parts: its origins, repercussions in the Upper Valley, current solutions, and radical imaginations for the future. Interviewing nonprofit leaders and scholars to explore the centuries-old, national origins of the crisis, Lich also follows residents of Hanover, Hartland, Hartford, and Lebanon to show the effects of the crisis on the ground.

Precarity is the most ambitious project to-date created by JAM Productions, original content produced by JAM staff chronicling life in the Upper Valley and issues affecting the community, and is supported in part by a grant from the Upper Valley Equal.
